Read from the description, not a valuation. How we read the register

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Replace all but one windows with double-glazed 12mm slimline sealed units. Replace one window with matching existing timber glazed door. Replace 2no. rear doors with part-glazed, timber stable doors and replace existing glazed double doors with similar glazed doors. Introduce two support pillars to each of the existing rear porch canopies.

    Awaiting decision

    Decision expected by 24 September 2026, 8 weeks from validation under the statutory target for most applications. Extensions of time are common and are agreed case by case.

    North Hertfordshire took a median of 51 days over the applications it decided in the last year.

What happens while it is decided

The process from here

This application is with North Hertfordshire for determination. The council publicises it, consults neighbours and technical bodies where required, and weighs the responses against local and national planning policy.

The statutory target is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major development, though extensions of time are common. Comments carry most weight while the case is undecided, so check the council portal for the deadline if you want to respond.

About heritage and listed buildings applications

How this application type works

Heritage applications concern listed buildings and conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for works, inside or out, that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without consent is a criminal offence. The council weighs harm to the heritage asset against any public benefit of the proposal.
