Multi-storey update: Plans in the balance - maybe...
Proposals for a 331-space car park in Lower Kings Road next to Waitrose, replacing the 122-space pay and display car park owned by Dacorum Borough Council, were given the green light last week.
Councillor Ian Reay, who represents Berkhamsted on Hertfordshire County Council and also sits on Berkhamsted Town Council, this morning told the Gazette that the decision had been called in, and would be reviewed by the government.

But a spokesman for Dacorum Borough Council said that no such decision had been made.
The spokesman told the Gazette: “We have spoken to the Department for Communities and Local Government, but we have not sent the paperwork over and they have not made a decision on whether or not to call in the planning approval.
“They need to make a decision on whether to make a decision - but it has not been called in.”
