News
Old River Lane development
We are objecting to the demolition application for Charringtons House and the United Reform Church Hall because demolition and re-building will waste far more carbon than just refurbishing the existing buildings. The biodiversity impacts, particularly on bats and swifts, have also not need assessed.
Goods Yard development
You can still submit comments on the East Herts planning website for the Solum Goods Yard development in the Bishop’s Stortford railway car park.
Our photo here shows the area of watercress and bullrushes at the south end of the site that will be lost if the application is approved.
