Land East of Kingsley Green, Harper Lane, Shenley, Radlett

Planning application no. 5/2025/1160 (St Albans District) and 25/0885/OUTEI  (Hertsmere)

Hybrid planning application comprising: (1) Outline planning application for a residential development (up to 200 dwellings), community building, associated works including infrastructure, blue and green infrastructure and landscaping/drainage attenuation. All matters reserved except for access; and (2) Full application for the demolition of and relocation of the existing Bowls Club and demolition and relocation of any buildings associated with the football club and relocation and replacement of the existing football pitches (plus associated works) together with associated facilities, infrastructure, car parking and access.

The proposed development site is in the Green Belt, and lies within both Hertsmere Borough and St Albans District. The site is not proposed for allocation in the emerging Local Plan for either district. The application asserts that the site is ‘grey belt’ but we disagree, and we urge the Council to refuse permission for this inappropriate speculative development.
