St Albans is a cathedral in Hertfordshire with settlements going back to the Iron Age. It has a population of just over 82,000 which has rapidly expanded since Victorian times, as it transitioned from rural to suburban status. The original borough of St Albans, like many others, was abolished in 1974 and replaced with St Albans City & District. This covers the notable towns and villages of Batchwood, Chiswell Green, Jersey Farm, Marshalswick and Townsend. Notable buildings in the area include Old Gorhambury House, a ruined Elizabethan mansion, and a leading and early example of the Elizabethan prodigy house, Sopwell House, a historic Georgian country house, now operating as a luxury hotel, and The Clock Tower in St Albans, which is a Grade I listed belfry, constructed between 1403 and 1412.
The area is governed by St Albans City & District Council which operates from Civic Centre, St Peter’s Street, St Albans, AL1 3JE. This is where all matters concerning the city and it’s district developments take place, including the local planning authority. It’s where St Albans planning permission and applications are processed.
Plande works across the city and the surrounding towns and villages.
