Planning application no. 25/1020/OUT

Outline planning application for up to 256 homes (C3 use class) (including affordable and self/custom build housing), housing with care (C2 use class), a children’s home (for looked after children) (C2 use class) together with associated access (including off-site highway works), parking, open space and landscaping (appearance, layout, landscaping and scale as reserved matters)

The proposed development site is in the Green Belt, although the applicant asserts the site is ‘grey belt’. It is also currently subject to public consultation as part of the Three Rivers emerging Local Plan. However, the Council has “significant concerns” regarding its suitability for development and we agree. We urge the Council to refuse permission for this inappropriate development.
