Land on the South Side of Dagger Lane, Elstree

Planning application no. 25/1108/OUT

Development to comprise flexible B2/B8 (Industrial, Storage and Distribution) up to 17,000 sqm gross external, including ancillary offices. In addition to the above the development will include car and cycle parking, creation of servicing areas and provision of associated services, routes and open spaces within the development, together with all associated works and operations including, but not limited to: earthworks and engineering operations. This application is for a phased development capable of coming forward in distinct and separable phases and/or plots in a severable way. (Outline application to include access with all other matters of appearance, landscaping, layout and scale reserved).

The proposed development site is in the Green Belt. The application cites the 2024 revision of the NPPF and the introduction of the concept of ‘grey belt’ as the justification for the development. We entirely refute the assertion that this site is ‘grey belt’ and urge the Council to refuse permission for this inappropriate speculative development.
