Planning committee
Decided by Stevenage Planning and Development Committee on 4 Aug 2026.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because housing benefits outweighed the harm from one missing parking space, with other matters acceptable.

- The committee granted permission subject to conditions after members found no robust planning grounds for refusal.

Checked on 6 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
