FOLLOWING THE CONSULTATION ON THE ABOVE PROJECT IN AUTUMN 2021, ALDENHAM PARISH COUNCIL HAVE BEEN WORKING  WITH THE PROJECT MANAGERS IID ARCHITECTS ON REVISIONS TO THE PLANS TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE FEEDBACK RECEIVED WHERE POSSIBLE.

The revised plans include

• Patio area to the sides of the building has been reduced to soften the impact of hard surfaces
• Include more hedging on boundary
• Removal of pathway in front of building and relocation of the pathway linking the building with the Multi Use Games Area to be within the community woodland
• Relocation of refuse area to the rear of the building meaning that the total area taken up by the site is reduced

These plans have now been submitted to Hertsmere Borough Council for them to review. Please view the plans at www.hertsmere.gov.uk/planning and search for application number 22/1702/FUL, and make comments. Any questions or copies of comments can be made by e-mail to Peter Evans, Council Manager, Aldenham Parish Council on manager@aldenham-pc.gov.uk

Next steps

If the plans are approved Aldenham Parish Council will then tender contracts to provide catering facilities within the premises, as well as contracts to build the final building.

Hertsmere residents have the chance to register to be part of a tried and tested renewable energy scheme and help save the planet and cut their energy bills. Residents are being encouraged to come together to invest in solar panels and battery storage through a group-buying scheme, Solar Together, being brought forward by Hertsmere Borough Council in partnership with other Hertfordshire local authorities and independent experts iChoosr.
Householders can register online to become part of the group for free and without obligation. The scheme offers solar panels with optional battery storage and EV charge points, as well as retrofitting of battery storage for residents who have already invested in solar panels and are looking to get more from the renewable energy they generate as well as increase their independence from the grid. Registration closes on Tuesday 27 September, when an auction of pre-approved UK solar PV suppliers participate will take place.

Aldenham Parish Council are aware that there is mains water leak with water seeping through the retaining wall to the car park at The Radlett Centre. This was reported on 1 August 2022 to Affinity Water. Their engineer has found that the leak is from a pipe below the exit to the car park in the footway. They have marked this with blue paint.

Since then the council have been told several reasons why it has not been repaired, but with no definite date for repair being given. We apologise that there has been such a loss of water, but we are contacting Affinity Water constantly for an update.
