Amended documents are prefixed with the number 98.
Due to the closure of the council office and social distancing measures, the council will not be providing hard copies of the consultation documents in its offices and other places. Instead all the submission documents are available to see on the website above, but should you require an alternative way of accessing these documents, please call 01279 655261
As the council is not able to hold face to face exhibitions, officers will be available to answer questions via two Zoom sessions on Wednesday 2 December at 6pm to 9pm and Saturday 5 December 10am to 1pm. If you would like to attend please register your interest by emailing gilston.applications@eastherts.gov.uk.
