Land North of Chipperfield Road, Kings Langley

Planning application no. 25/00143/MOA

Outline planning application for the demolition of 36 Chipperfield Road, and the construction of up to 150 residential dwellings including affordable housing (Use Class C3), new vehicular access off Chipperfield Road, new pedestrian and cycle access at Love Lane, new education facility and community building (F1(a)/sui generis use), landscaping, public open space and play space, cycle and car parking, and associated infrastructure. All matters reserved excluding Chipperfield Road and Love Lane access.

The proposed development site is in the Green Belt. The applicant’s Planning Statement notes the recent revision of the NPPF and the introduction of the concept of grey belt as justification for the submission of this speculative application. We entirely refute the assertions that this site constitutes grey belt under the present legal definitions, and we urge the Council to refuse permission.
