Our Save Our Sandridge response has now been published on the planning portal, you can read it here.
Our MP Victoria Collins visited Sandridge on 14th November to see our green fields under threat and walked to the junction of Langley Grove and Woodcock Hill just at school pick up, to witness the parking issues. As the weather was so bad she was able to experience first hand how flooded House Lane and Woodcock Hill were. She shared with us the letter she wrote to Steve Reed urging grey belt definition update for villages.
SADC Councillor Sharon Hollingsworth has already called-in the Shottfield application to ensure it's debated at Planning Committee (if the Council's planning officers don't simply refuse it). You can see her document here.

Here's a direct link to the planning application 5/2025/1556 where you can see all the plans and documents.
The Council's website can sometimes be slow to view or download documents, so we've assembled a copy here (and renamed some documents to make it clearer what they are).
We have produced a list here of the material considerations and objections that are specifically relevant to this application and will carry most weight.
Please use any information that is important or relevant to you as the basis for your own objection (but please don't just copy-and-paste the list). You can enter your comments on the Council's planning portal here or if you prefer, you may email your objection to planningcomments@stalbans.gov.uk with reference 5/2025/1556 and make it clear that you object, and remember to include your name and address.
If you experience problems downloading the applicants' large files from the planning portal (which often struggles with high traffic), we have endeavoured to copy them to this website, and you can find our copies here
