Do Cottered and Throcking have any important views that need protecting?
The council is looking to establish whether there are any ‘views’ within the parish which should be featured in the neighbourhood plan as ‘protected views’. The Buntingford Community Area Neighbourhood Plan can be viewed here:
Examples of ‘protected views’ are shown on pages 70-71 and are identified as important in retaining the particular characteristics of an area.
This will be discussed in the next meeting as to whether this warrants the start of a larger process to include identified ‘views’ in the neighbourhood plan.
If you have any suggestions of views that would be important to retain for the future, please send an image and location to: .

Hertfordshire County County (HCC) has notified upcoming works taking place in the area:
Location: A507 Baldock Road, Cottered outside How Green Farm
Dates: 8PM 21 January 2024 to 5AM 22 January 2024
Traffic Management: Road Closure
Description: Affinity Water repair/replacement works
More information: https://one.network/?GB136898773
Affinity Water originally requested a 3 day road closure however HCC has managed to condense the programme down to 1 night shift to reduce disruption to residents.
