How can you help?
Object Now!
The application is for 118 houses. There was over 1000 objections but we need your support once again by attending the Development Management Committee (DMC) meeting, where the application is now on the agenda to decide if this gets approved or rejected. We know every single individual email or letter will count and a show of support in person will help strengthen our message. Please get your household to act, tell neighbours and friends!
Public Meeting Presentation
A well attended public meeting took place on Thursday 1st December at 7pm at Bengeo Primary School. It offered an opportunity to find out more about the expected planning application for housing development in Bengeo Field, and the East Herts District Council planning process. We were joined by Cllrs Ben Crystall and Peter Ruffles along with other speakers. If you missed this meeting you can view the presentation here. We have since gone on to continue to object against their revised proposals and now it is decision time. Join us at the meeting at EHDC, Wallfields, Pegs Lane, Hertford (by mini roundabout at Richard Hale School) at 6.15pm on Wednesday 18th September 2024. The meeting starts at 7pm. Just look out for our banners and posters!
