After hundreds of documents were submitted over more than a year, a controversial 135-home plan has been shot down.
There were 179 public comments made, including 173 objections, and a decision was finally reached today with Dacorum Borough Council refusing permission.The decision notice said: “The council acted pro-actively through positive engagement with the applicant in an attempt to narrow down the reasons for refusal, but fundamental objections could not be overcome.”
Four specific reasons for rejection were listed, including the overall harm to the green belt, and three reasons relating to technical agreements over transport and affordable housing not being reached between the applicant and council. It had been included in the council’s emerging local plan as a potential site for residential development, but a recent report suggesting it may be removed, in response to feedback, was heralded as a victory by campaigners against the proposal.However, according to the officer’s report recommending refusal, until the emerging plan is finalised the area remains unallocated.
