How schemes in Tring get decided.
Two councils involved
Dacorum Borough Council decides the planning application, but Hertfordshire County Council is the highway authority and gives the highways response. We deal with both, so the evidence suits the county’s standards as well as the local plan.
What shapes schemes in Tring
A small market town on the A41 bypass in the Chilterns, with its station about a mile and a half out of town. In the centre, the questions are usually servicing, parking and narrow streets. On the edges, it’s access, visibility and a safe walking route into town.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A41 bypass and B4635. There’s a railway station, so the walking and cycling route to it counts for a lot in any application. Where a scheme adds traffic to the A41, National Highways needs to agree the evidence as well. We tell you early if yours does.
Questions we get asked
Who is the highway authority in Tring?
Hertfordshire County Council, for local roads. Dacorum Borough Council decides the planning application and consults Hertfordshire County Council on highways matters. We deal with both. National Highways is responsible for the A41.
Do you cover the area around Tring?
Yes, including Chesham, Aylesbury and Leighton Buzzard, and the villages and rural sites in between.
Will National Highways need to be involved?
Only if a scheme adds enough traffic to the A41 to matter. We check that at the start and, where it’s needed, agree the approach with them alongside the council.
