PLANNING MATTERS - Former Old Cross Library

An application was made by a firm of interior designers to change the use of the building from D1 (non-residential institutions) to B1 Business (a) Office. The design firm, who plan to re-locate from Enfield, have indicated that they intend to leave the external appearance of the former library unchanged. We felt that the proposal would enable a familiar and valued building to go on contributing to the Hertford townscape, and again no comment was made.
