An outline planning application for up to 310 houses with land reserved for a primary school, community facilities and mobility hub has been submitted to Hertsmere Borough Council.

The application was validated the same day it arrived on Monday 20 June, yet it has yet to appear on an planning bulletin suggesting a great deal of stealth on the part of the Council.

As with outline applications all appearance, landscaping, layout and scale is reserved until a full planning application is submitted. However, as expected the entrance will be on Little Bushey Lane.

Deadline for objections is Wednesday 20 July, but as it is a major development we should expect a wide area of residents to be consulted by letter.

You may object here, but we will be giving you some guidance shortly.
