Land West of High Street, Walkern

Planning application no. 3/25/0224/OUT

Outline planning application (with all matters reserved except for access) comprising a retirement care village (Use Class C2), with associated communal facilities, vehicle and pedestrian access points from High Street, landscaping, amenity space, drainage and associated works

The proposal is for a 147 unit retirement care village, on a site within the designated Rural Area Beyond the Green Belt. The site is not allocated for development in the East Hertfordshire District Local Plan nor the Walkern Neighbourhood Plan. The proposal would constitute a major extension of the village outside of the existing built-up area and is clearly inappropriate. We urge the Council to refuse permission.
