Decision taken
The Cabinet:

·        
Endorsed the University of Hertfordshire Estates Vision and
accompanying phasing plans for development management purposes;
and

·        
Agreed that the contents of the Estate Vision be treated as
material consideration in future planning applications
 
Reason for decision
Endorsement of the Estates Vision would enable
future planning applications to be considered in the context of the
overall vision and would enable the Vision itself to be treated as
a material consideration. Whilst individual applications, along
with their impacts, would still need to be considered through the
planning process, the existence of a strategic framework would
demonstrate the Council’s in principle support for their
future plans.
