Topic Papers

This a series of topic papers prepared to support the South West Herts Joint Strategic Plan (SW Herts JSP), ‘Realising Our Potential’ document. They are intended to elaborate and explain the issues covered in the document on a thematic basis.

Their coverage and the range of topics will be expanded as we move through the plan-preparation process.

South West Herts - Your Future

Before preparing the Plan, we wanted to get a better understanding from those who live and work locally about what they like about the area now and what we should be prioritising as we look to shape the future. To help with this we carried out a ‘SW Herts Your Future’ poll in early 2020.

This report summarises the feedback from this engagement.

Vision WorkWe have drawn up a draft vision for South West Herts. This was prepared by the South West Herts authorities with input from Members, officers, key external stakeholders and a youth forum. The draft vision has helped informed the South West Herts Joint Strategic Plan (SW Herts JSP), ‘Realising Our Potential’ document.


Communications & Engagement

A Communications and Engagement Plan has been jointly prepared by the South West Herts authorities and sets out the approach to cross authority engagement, and in particular the ways we will help promote the South West Herts ‘Realising Our Potential’ document. This Plan elaborates on the approach to consultation set out within the adopted Statement of Community Involvement (SCI).

Climate resilience studyA report setting out the approach being taken in current / emerging Local Plans regarding climate change and advising how we could help address these issues at a more strategic level through the JSP.
