Deferred

  • Officers recommended reducing contributions to £50,000 per dwelling because the viability case was considered compelling and within a suitable return range.
  • One objection raised concerns about local services, the viability appraisal and reduced funding for infrastructure and affordable housing.
  • The committee deferred the application for more information about the options available when deciding it.

Site constraints 3

Green belt: London
Inappropriate development needs very special circumstances.
Green belt policy allows a short list of exceptions, such as limited extensions and replacement buildings. Anything else needs very special circumstances that clearly outweigh the harm.
Also on the record
Inside the Cheshunt built-up area; 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 listed building at the site · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 September 2026. 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.
