Planning committee

Decided by Three Rivers Planning Committee on 23 Apr 2026.

Refused by 8 votes to 0

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers advised approval because the lawful fallback position reduced the significance of parking, amenity-space and design concerns.
  • Residents and the parish council raised concerns about overdevelopment, parking, safety, amenity space, intensification and neighbourhood character.
  • The committee voted 8–0, with 2 abstentions, to refuse because parking and amenity-space shortcomings would harm the area’s character.

Also on the record
Inside the Abbots Langley and Kings Langley built-up area; Green belt about 58 m away: London; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 September 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. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
