Open Space: Redefining the concept of ‘Park’ for the 21st Century

PROFILE: Watford Team

CONNECTing Watford Team

PARTNERS: Great and Small



Connecting East Herts District Council, Sele Community and Artist Karen Lois Whiteread.

Responding to the Council’s desire to engage their community, the East Herts Green Heart Partnership team tasked artist Karen Lois Whiteread to explore new approaches to the consultation process. Karen has now been working as part of the Green Heart Partnership team on the project at Sele Farm Community Centre for four months. We asked Karen and the rest of the team, what it has been like to work in this way.

A Creative Approach to Policy-making: Three Rivers District Council

Through the Green Heart Partnership, Three Rivers District Council is finalising a Planning Policy Guidance Note to assist residential developers in realising imaginative and creative open spaces on future developments of any size.

The document has been developed to support the evolving strategic plans from the Planning Policy Guidance 17: Planning for Open Space, Sport and Recreation. The information in the guidance document is to provide residential developers with more details on planning policy L10 and L11.

Some images from the document, with new designs created by visual artist Simon Lee Dicker, can be seen here. Find out more about the completed document and initial response to it in the next issue of the e-newsletter.

Exposure

Green Heart is offering a limited number of opportunities for artists based in Hertfordshire to gain experience in working with local government on high profile Green Heart projects. This is a unique opportunity to test the reality of working in this field, and will enable the practitioner to shadow the whole team throughout the development of the project.
