Pastures, Vicarage Lane, Bovingdon, Hemel Hempstead

Application no. 22/00695/OUT

This application relates to the demolition of an existing property and construction of five 4-bedroom detached homes.

The site lies in London Metropolitan Green Belt as defined in the adopted Dacorum Borough Local Plan where development is inappropriate according to criteria in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) unless very special circumstances can be demonstrated. No attempt is made by the client in the application to address the very special circumstances which may apply to this proposal.

We believe the proposed design and layout would significantly reduce the quality of the surroundings in this location and we urge the Council to refuse this application.
