Planning committee

Decided by Stevenage Planning and Development Committee on 30 Jun 2026.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers advised approval because the housing benefits and sustainable location outweighed acceptable impacts, subject to conditions.
  • Residents objected to the development’s scale, accommodation, parking, neighbour impacts, bin storage and effect on local character.
  • The committee refused the application because of poor outlook, privacy, inadequate parking and likely harm to neighbours and highway safety.
Read how the committee decided The proposed conversion, officers’ assessment, local concerns, committee debate, vote and reasons for refusal. Includes the meeting recording
