A significant milestone for Cowley-on-the-Hill.
Following an extensive consultation process, we are delighted to have submitted a hybrid planning application to Hertsmere Borough Council.
The proposals will deliver 154 new homes, 50% of which will be affordable, alongside a care home providing up to 80 beds.
We are particularly pleased that the proposals will provide SHEMA with a new purpose-built synagogue and a permanent home, supporting its community for generations to come.
More than 40% of the site will be dedicated to publicly accessible open space. The scheme will also create new and improved walking and cycling connections and deliver improvements to the local road network, encouraging more sustainable ways to travel.
The application builds on the established principle of residential development, with a resolution to grant planning permission already in place for 58 homes on the site.
Reaching this stage has been a truly collaborative effort. We would like to thank our professional project team for their hard work, together with everyone who has contributed throughout the consultation process.
We look forward to working with Hertsmere Borough Council, the local community and other stakeholders as the application progresses.
