Planning committee

Decided by Broxbourne Planning and Regulatory Committee on 30 Jun 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Approved

As officers recommended.

Officers advised approval because specialist elderly care was needed and the site, design, access, parking and impacts were acceptable.
A neighbouring occupier raised concerns about consultation, access, services, parking, air quality and construction, while consultees mostly raised no objection subject to conditions.
