Planning Consultants in Hertfordshire
Hertfordshire sits almost entirely within the Metropolitan Green Belt, creating significant constraints on new development. The county has strong housing demand driven by London commuters, important historic assets including the Roman city of Verulamium in St Albans, and a significant life sciences and technology sector. Green Belt release for housing is a major strategic planning issue across the county.
