Redevelopment of Bourne End Mills


BEVA Planning Group response to proposals for the housing development at Bourne End Lane.
4/00597/17/RES

In general we feel the area is well designed.  Our chief concerns centre on:
  1. Parking.  The allocation of spaces is beyond present day standards, but in the light of the location, we feel the demand may be greater and may overspill into the surrounding area.
  2. Reference is made to a communal area, but this is not apparent from the plans.
  3. We had expectation of a higher bund separating the two redeveloped areas. This issue could be ameliorated by planting more mature trees.
  4. Some of the house styles are taller than anticipated although they are arranged in such a way that this should not interrupt views.
  5. No detail is given regarding planting, types of tree etc.

We would encourage you to write into the council if you share these or other concerns. Make sure your comments are in by the 18th of April and you quote the reference above. 

The following will take you to Dacorum’s planning portal where you can access the plans using the reference above.  Here you may also make your comments on line.




We remain keen to have the turning head modified in such a way that a more open space is created.  We are still working on this.
