Summary of Reasons for Decision

The proposal has been considered with regard to the policies of the Development Plan (Hertfordshire County Structure Plan, Minerals Local Plan, Waste Local Plan and East Herts Local Plan Second Review April 2007), and in particular saved policies ENV1, ENV2, ENV20, ENV23, ENV24, EDE1, EDE4, BIS9 and TR7. The balance of the considerations having regard to those policies and approval of planning permission within LPA reference 3/09/0118/FP is that permission should be granted.
