This 5.19-hectare site has outline planning consent for up to 155 new homes, offering a rare opportunity to create a high-quality, mixed-tenure neighbourhood in the heart of Colney Heath. The scheme has been thoughtfully designed to complement its surroundings while delivering much-needed new homes — including 50% affordable housing.
Although located within the Metropolitan Green Belt, the site is visually well-contained by existing development and mature vegetation. Under the updated NPPF, it has been classified as ‘Greybelt’ due to its sustainable location. It makes a limited contribution to Green Belt purposes and represents a logical, modest extension to the village.
With minimal landscape impact and no intrusion into key views, the development integrates naturally with the existing fabric of Colney Heath. It also has the potential to help revitalise the village high street and strengthen local amenities.
