21st January Public Meeting
Over 100 people attended the Harpenden Society Public Meeting on Jan 21 to learn how the Local Plan was progressing now it was in the hands of government Inspectors. This being a third attempt at gaining government approval for the council’s necessarily revised planning strategy which is now at an advanced stage. SADC council leader Paul de Kort (who represents Harpenden East and is also a Herts County Councillor) explained when he addressed the public meeting, held at Katherine Warington School lecture theatre.
He pointed out that much has changed of relevance to planning issues, in the local as well as the national domain in recent years, not least across the political landscape. SADC has come under Liberal Democrat rather than Conservative control and, more recently, Labour has come into power at Westminster.
A comprehensive report will be published in the Society Winter newsletter due for publication on the 12th February 2025.
