Land At Home Farm Aldenham Road Elstree Hertfordshire WD6 3AZ

Application No. 20/1752/FUL Retrospective permission for use of a glamping site within an established site boundary on land At Home Farm Aldenham Road Elstree Hertfordshire WD6 3AZ and Application No. 20/1763/FUL, erection of a yoga tent for a temporary period of two years at Home Farm, Aldenham Road, Elstree, Hertfordshire WD6 3AZ.

CPRE Hertfordshire are responding to these two applications together as, in certain respects, the second is dependent on the outcome of the first.

Application 20/1763/FUL is a resubmission of withdrawn application 20/1312/FUL. In our response to that application we pointed out that the extent of the glamping site went beyond the defined site area shown on the original application for that site (Application 15/0145/FUL). Current application 20/1752/FUL is an attempt to rectify that situation.

However, ambiguities regarding the boundary of the site remain. In the supporting documentation accompanying 20/1752/FUL the applicant claims that the discrepancy
between the ‘red line’ plan HF1 and site layout plan HF3 was an administrative error. In the Planning Statement for 20/1763/FUL it says that the council made a slight oversight when approving the red line plan as it appears the red line plan does not cover the entire approved glamping site. While it is clear that the Council should have reconciled the discrepancy between the two drawings before determining the application, it appears that the applicant is attempting to absolve themselves of any responsibility, when it was the applicant who produced and submitted both drawings.
