Land North of Hare Street Road, Buntingford

Application no. 3/24/0294/OUT

a) Outline approval for a residential development for around 200 new market and affordable homes, including self-build and custom build homes, new public open space, new ecological areas and other public realm, new pedestrian, cycle and vehicular networks within the site, potential pedestrian connections to The Causeway and Aldridge Way, and associated drainage and SuDs infrastructure. With all matters reserved for later approval.

b) Full planning approval for the construction of new Medical Centre, car parking area, related drainage and SuDs infrastructure, with associated access to Hare Street Road and enabling works to the existing highway, as defined on the Land Use Parameter and Detailed Access Plans.

The land for this proposed development is identified as Rural Area Beyond the Green Belt in the adopted East Herts District Plan where the rural character is to be maintained. There are a significant number of material considerations why the proposed development is not appropriate in this location and we urge the Council to refuse permission for this speculative application.
