Ponsbourne Park, Newgate Street

Planning application no. 5/2025/1791/MAJ

Redevelopment of land at Ponsbourne Park to provide 26 new dwellings, extensions, conversion of existing buildings to residential use, associated car parking and landscaping

The proposed development site is in the Green Belt, and the planning application notes the recent revision of the NPPF and the introduction of the concept of grey belt as the justification for this development. We strongly disagree that the site constitutes ‘grey belt’. The recently adopted Local Plan makes appropriate provision for housing in the Borough, and we urge the Council to refuse permission for this highly inappropriate speculative development.
