Haresfoot Farm, Chesham Road, Berkhamsted (59 dwellings)

Application no. 24/01496/MFA

Demolition of existing buildings and redevelopment of the site to provide 59 residential units (market and affordable), erection of a community hub building, sustainability measures together with associated landscaping, open space, parking, highways

This development proposal follows the refusal of planning permission for the same site (24/00330/MFA) to which we objected on a number of grounds. We support the Council’s previous decision and note the reasons for refusal including the lack of very special circumstances to overcome the harm which would be caused to the Green Belt. We also support the second reason for refusal relating to the sustainability of the proposed isolated location in relation to Berkhamsted and repeat the following concerns from our previous submission which we believe apply equally to this application. We urge the Council to refuse permission for this unsustainable and inappropriate proposal.
