Spring Grange, Wood End, Ardeley, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, SG2 7BB

Application No 3/17/2822/FUL

Erection of 2 dwellings and 2 car ports, formation of access points, boundary walls and ancillary development. Refurbishment of listed building incorporating single storey
extension, new ground floor window openings on West and East elevations, external steps and canopy added to South elevation, replace entrance porch on West elevation with
timber porch, car port extension to both at Spring Grange, Wood End, Ardeley, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, SG2 7BB.

CPRE Hertfordshire welcome the reduction of the number of new dwellings proposed on this site and the reconfigured layout which presents a more acceptable street frontage. However our concerns, which led to our original letter of objection of 26 January 2018, remain.

In the adopted District Plan, Wood End is classed as a Category 3 Village, which means that it is considered to be among the least sustainable locations for residential development in East Herts and, under policy VILL3, there should only be limited infill development which has been identified in an adopted Neighbourhood Plan. This proposal does not meet those criteria.
