Hamberlins Farm, Hamberlins Lane, Northchurch, Hertfordshire HP4 3TD

Application No. 20/01579/FUL

Demolition of buildings and construction of 9 no. dwellings at Hamberlins Farm, Hamberlins Lane, Northchurch, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire HP4 3TD.

CPRE Hertfordshire object to this proposal for development in the Green Belt and the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

We apologise for the late submission of this objection, the application only having been brought to our attention recently.

In September 2019 the Council granted permission for 5 dwellings on this site comprising the conversion of three of the barns on the site to residential and the demolition of the remaining structures and erection of two new dwellings. The current proposal is for the demolition of all the buildings on the site and the construction of nine dwellings. We note that in the interim the applicant has changed from a private individual to a development company, consequently we surmise that the intent is now to maximise the development potential of the site.
