The property is a 0.2 hectare irregularly shaped plot located on the south side of Lower Luton Road, adjacent to Batford Mill employment designation. The site is suitable for business use and would provide a logical extension of the existing employment area. The proposal seeks to remove the site from the Green Belt and allocate it for employment, creating an opportunity for development and providing much-needed employment space. The site is sustainably located within the main built-up area of Harpenden, directly opposite residential properties and the recently constructed Katherine Warrington School. The potential development could include five small or one large commercial unit, subject to planning permission.
