Retirement Home Plan Refused

Plans for a retirement home on Green Belt land west of Hertford have been turned down by the District Council.

The Development Control Committee agreed unanimously with the Planning Officer's recommendation that the proposals be refused.

Grounds for refusal included harm to the woodland character of the area and insufficient information about access and the affect on traffic. This was in addition to the fact that the land was Green Belt and contrary to a raft of local planning policies.
