The property is a 0.2 hectare irregularly shaped plot located on Lower Luton Road in Harpenden, directly adjacent to Batford Mill and opposite residential properties and the Katherine Warrington School. The site is suitable for business use and would provide a logical extension of the existing Batford Mill employment designation, allowing for the creation of five small or one large commercial unit. The proposal seeks to remove the site from the Green Belt and allocate it for employment, providing a significant planning gain by generating much-needed employment space and creating a hub for businesses in the area.
