There are also several ancillary structures, including a single storey annexe and garage. The land is well screened by trees on all boundaries, creating a divide between the house and adjacent properties.

PLANNING

The site is located within Hertsmere Borough Council and benefits from outline planning permission for demolition of existing dwelling house and construction of 2 x 3 bed and 2 x 4 bed houses (ref: 23/1250/OUT approved in March 2024.

While the site benefits from the existing planning permission, it may be possible to increase the level of development above the four approved houses. It may also be possible to change the use from C3 residential to other uses, including care.

The land is allocated in the Hertsmere Local Plan 2016 for 17 dwellings (ref H9), which removed the land from the Green Belt.

The land has been subsequently included in the emerging Local Plan with an indicative capacity of 15 dwellings, with a mix of dwelling sizes (ref HEL502). This allocation also removed the land from the Green Belt.
