For the extension to be carried out, the proposal involves the agreed purchase of part of the adjacent Bovingdon Brickworks site from E H Smith Ltd, on whom notice will be served.

The Design and Access Statement submitted to Dacorum Borough Council has said the extension “should create three to five new jobs”.
