TRDC Local Plan Sub-Committee to consider taking forward in their Local Plan, a proposal for 893 dwellings plus primary school at Numbers Farm on Kings Langley’s Green belt
Three Rivers District Council’s Local Plan Sub-Committee are to hold a meeting this Thursday, 24th August, to consider whether to take forward several large, so-called ‘strategic’ Green Belt sites, one of which is Site Ref. CSF26c – West of the Kings Langley Estate (or as Kings Langley villagers know it: Number Farm) – a site allocated for 893 dwellings plus a primary school.
The KL&DRA are totally against the development of this site as it is a green field, Green Belt area of farm land and it is not needed to meet the Council’s revised target of 5,208 dwellings for the plan period. The Council’s planning Officers maintain the location is sustainable, simply because it is close to a railway and brings strategic benefits such as the primary school.
The KL&DRA have re-iterated to the sub-committee Chair, Cllr. Stephen Giles-Medhurst and the Lead Planning Officer Marko Kalik, that development of the site would have an extremely detrimental effect on our village for a number of reasons and that it is not as sustainable a location, in practical terms, as it appears to be on paper.
It would help our cause if as many residents as possible could log in to the livestream of the meeting on Thursday at 7pm and listen to the discussion.
The Agenda for the meeting, which contains a link to the livestream, plus the report pack containing information about the sites to be considered, can be found here:
