Warm Spaces in Radlett and Shenley
Due to increases in the cost of living, our residents continue to face unprecedented pressures.
Heating our homes is more expensive than ever, so Hertfordshire County Council and their partners have developed a network of Warm Spaces, which people can use to stay warm this winter.

ALERT – Major new housing development proposed for Radlett
Developers Fairfax sent letters to a number of Radlett residents in August inviting their comments on a proposal to build 195 new homes on the land between Shenley Road and Theobald Street in Radlett, adjacent to Newberries School. They have now followed up this “public consultation” by making an Outline Planning Application to Hertsmere Borough Council (Reference 22/1539/OUT).
This site was identified as “R3” in Hertsmere’s shelved draft Local Plan as being a possible area of Green Belt land that could be developed for housing in future. However it is and will remain Green Belt unless and until it is changed as a result of any new Local Plan so cannot be built upon now.
The Society strongly objects to this proposal and you can add your comments by 25th October to Hertsmere Planners by emailing [email protected] with reference 22/1539/OUT
UPDATE ON SOLAR PLANT APPEAL
As you know the Combined Objector’s Group (which includes The Radlett Society) is fighting the Appeal against the Solar Plant. The Public Inquiry opens on Wednesday 19 October at 10am at Hertsmere’s Civic Offices, Elstree Way, Borehamwood, Herts WD6 1WA and will run for 8 days.
The COG’s participation is being funded entirely by donations from local residents and organisations. Thanks to their generosity more than 90% of the required funds have now been raised. But a few thousand pounds are still needed to cover the costs of the planning consultant, expert witnesses and legal representation. We are making a final request for donations. All contributions will be gratefully received.
Donations should please be made to:
Radlett Society & Green Belt Association (Charity No 280877)
Sort Code 08-92-99 Account No 67202812
Please Reference “Solar Appeal”
Thank you!

Radlett Neighbourhood Plan (see https://www.radlettplan.org/ ) Approved
The Radlett Neighbourhood Plan was approved by the Radlett Residents in the Referendum on 6th May 2021. There were 2,842 votes cast of which 2,127 were ‘Yes’ votes. For further details please see the press release here.
This now means that Hertsmere BC must refer to the Plan and the criteria therein when considering planning applications and other developments. The Plan is also a key reference point for us – and residents generally – in considering how to respond to proposals.

I was wondering if RSGBA is actively opposing the development of land behind Newberries school in Radlett.
The plan by Fairfax is to built 200 dwellings.
I wish to oppose it and thought I might add my comments to an already existing organised action group, but I am not aware of any.
There’s strength in numbers.
