The Parish Council want to bring to your attention that a new 30-day consultation period has started in relation to the outline planning permission for the development of 300 houses in Little Wymondley in the area between the High Street and A602 Bypass as on the plan below
The application is No 22/000956/OP on the North Herts Planning portal. The most relevant documents are on the most recent three pages of the application. We would encourage everyone in the village and wider Parish to make their views known whether in favour or against
The new proposals do not change any of the fundamentals from the proposals that we have seen before
The Parish Council are reviewing the latest documents but in principle we believe the key issues include
o Scale in relation to the village as it stands which impacts the whole character of the community
o Road traffic congestion directly in The High Street but also the wider area
o Lack of public transport infrastructure
o No attempt to link Little Wymondley to Hitchin
o Flood and drainage issues which make the site very unsuitable for housing
o Lack of community infrastructure in the village including community hall, size of the school, lack of shop
Do attend the next Parish Council meeting on the 24th November and most importantly make your views known to North Herts Council
