Land Between The Alban Way and Colney Heath Lane, St Albans

Planning application no. 5/2023/1923

AMENDMENTS: Outline application (access sought) – Construction of up to 190 dwellings to include 50% affordable housing and 10% self-build and custom housing, a minimum of 6ha of public open space, landscaping, biodiversity habitat, formation of new access etc.

The proposed development site is in the Green Belt. The applicant’s Addendum Planning Statement now seeks to justify the proposed development both on the basis of very special circumstances relating to the concept of grey belt. We entirely refute this assertion and we again urge the Council to refuse permission for this inappropriate development.
