Call for Sites Pro-forma

  • Please complete this form if you would like to suggest proposals for future land use and development within East Herts district. Please do not submit sites that are wholly outside the district boundary.
  • Please complete a separate form for each site and attach a 1:1250 scale Ordnance Survey map clearly showing the precise boundaries of the site and details of site ownership.
  • There are 12 sections to this form. Please complete each section clearly and legibly in BLOCK CAPITALS and to the best of your knowledge. Please use section 12 if you require more space when completingthis form. You are also welcome to attach any relevant additional information (e.g. tree survey).
  • You must give your name and contact details for your site to be considered. This information along with details of ownership will be used in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
  • Only submit sites that you have an interest in and that you believe have genuine potential to be developed over the next 15 to 20 years.
  • Given the nature of East Herts district, many sites that come forward for development are either small sites or conversions. Thus, there is no minimum size of site. However, you do not need to complete this form if you are simply proposing minor changes to existing premises (e.g. extensions or renovations).
  • All sites may be included in future public consultation exercises necessary for the production of the LDF and so cannot be kept confidential.
  • In completing this form, you are giving permission for a representative of the Council to access the site with or without prior notice in order to ascertain its suitability (please see Section 10).
  • Please note that the Call for Sites request is part of the LDF plan making process and is separate from the Council’s planning application process.
