Churchgate Redevelopment. The
District Council has now published (May 2010) its proposals for a massive
development scheme, not just of the Churchgate site, but also the market
area, St Mary’s Square, The Hitchin Society is deeply disappointed by what is
now proposed for Hitchin. The scheme
ignores the Planning Brief adopted by the Council after extensive public
consultation and is totally out-of-scale with the style and character of
Hitchin’s historic town centre. The
market proposals are completely inadequate, and if they were to go ahead
would spell the end of Hitchin as a market town. The Society has issued a special edition of its
Newsletter detailing the shortcomings of the scheme and the consequences for
Hitchin if it were ever to be implemented.
