Planning Applications
Kings Walden Parish Council plays an active part in all local planning issues. It is probably the area of the Council’s role that is best known to the community and which can be of the most importance. Below are the most recent applications in the Parish.
The Parish Council is only a Consultee, it is not involved in the decision making. Any personal comments of support or objection to any application should be made directly to the planning department at North Herts District Council to ensure that they are taken into consideration in the decision making process.
