Respondent: Hertfordshire County Council - Environment & Infrastructure Department

2.2.8 – this paragraph could be clearer that the solicitor’s undertaking is to cover the County Council’s costs. Please amend as follows inserting the bold text; “Applicants should also be aware that a solicitor’s undertaking to cover the County Council’s legal costs for negotiating and checking of the legal agreement as well as proof of title will be required by HCC where applicable”

2.6.1 – this paragraph is fine in principle but refers to the Councils legal costs being covered. I’m not sure if there is a grammatical error here and it should be “Council’s” and they are referring to NHDC’s costs only or if they’re referring to plural Councils (i.e. the County and the District). For the avoidance of doubt this section should make it clear that the County Council’s legal fees will also be payable.
