Search the Public Notice PortalPlans to officially change the use of land to a residential caravan site have been approved despite local opposition.
The planning application for an area currently occupied by a garage and workshop behind homes in Toms Lane, Kings Langley, was officially approved yesterday (May 29) following consideration at a Three Rivers District Council planning meeting last week (May 23).
Permission allows for five pitches, each able to accommodate two caravans, and an amenity building to be added to the site, as well as the laying of hardstanding.

- More gipsy and traveller sites needed in Three Rivers, says council leader
- Mouse droppings found multiple times around popular café
The land is adjacent to an existing lawful gypsy site, which it will be accessed through, and is within the green belt.
Supporting documents stated the pitches are intended for use by the applicant’s extended family who are currently living on the adjacent site.
An objection had been lodged by Toms Lane Action Group, which said it is formed of around 60 residents “who are strongly opposed” to the plan.
It claimed that the ‘very special circumstances’ needed to justify inappropriate development on the green belt did not exist in this case.
The council officer’s report ahead of the meeting stated they could be justified based on the applicant’s personal circumstances, the area not providing enough alternative sites, and to meet the needs of children.
