Agenda item

The Executive Member for Development Management and Council Support submitted a report on the Hertford Conservation Area Appraisal following its deferral at the previous meeting.  She detailed the outcome of the further consultations that had taken place.

Councillor Ruffles expressed his gratitude for the additional consideration given and for the explanation which gave residents a greater understanding of the boundary line. 

In response to a suggestion on using Article 4 directions, the Executive Member reminded Members that this was being tested and would need to be reviewed before any decision was made in the future.

The Executive supported the proposals now detailed.
