Superintendent of Hampstead Heath to be heard on Hampstead Heath matters.

The Superintendent was heard on matters relating to Hampstead Heath:

Planning Issues– Highgate Neighbourhood Forum had been formally designated and a further Forum was being formed for Dartmouth Park.  On individual planning applications the Superintendent updated Members on The Garden House application that was refused permission by Camden’s Development Control Committee.

Postponement of SEAA Cross Country – Superintendent advised that this had been postponed for safety reasons due to the recent spell of bad weather making conditions treacherous.

National Grid – Works at Kenwood and the Heath extension were almost completed, the major works at Parliament Hill were nearing completion, but inclement weather had delayed the programme. 

Wild about Hampstead Heath – 2 officers had now been appointed by RSPB.  The Superintendent advised that the old football changing rooms was currently being used by the RSPB.
