Wychelms, Mill Lane, Therfield, Royston, Hertfordshire SG8 9PR

Application No 19/00321/FP

Erection of two five bedroom dwellings, with associated infrastructure and landscaping works following demolition of existing property at Wychelms, Mill Lane, Therfield, Royston, Hertfordshire SG8 9PR.

Notwithstanding the amendments between this application and withdrawn Application No.18/01081/FP, CPRE Hertfordshire consider that the current proposal remains an over-
development of the site in this rural location.

Whatever its aesthetic qualities, the existing four bedroom property is a modest presence in what is, essentially, a rural farm access road. Both of the proposed new dwellings are greater than the existing in footprint and will have a more dominant impact on the lane and the surrounding countryside.
