An 84-house development is proposed on Green Belt land near Shottfield Close and Langley Grove.
Here's a direct link to the planning application 5/2025/1556 where you can see all the plans and documents.
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
