The plans are complimented by an extensive landscape design produced in consultation with award winning landscape architect, Phil Allen Design. These proposals involve significant enhancements in habitat and biodiversity across this large brownfield site. They include a wildlife lake set within grasslands with mown paths and bridges crossing the water, orchards, informal and formal gardens and terraces from which to entertain and enjoy the garden.

As summarised in the planning application, the development proposals are the result of a detailed and thorough analysis of the site and surrounding area, informed by expertise in the architectural, landscape, ecological, and planning fields.

Full details of the planning approval are available via reference 3/22/0217/ful on the East Herts Council website.

The site lies within open countryside, 1.5 miles to the east of the charming village of Braughing and to the west of Bishop's Stortford.

Braughing is known for its picturesque setting and historic character, with many of its buildings dating back to the 16th and 17th centuries. The village is a tranquil and tight-knit community, making it a desirable place to live for those looking for a more rural setting while still being within reach of London and Cambridge.

Bishop's Stortford rail station is just under 5 miles away and offers direct services to London Liverpool Street with journey times of around 40 minutes.

The plot presents the opportunity to manage the construction of your dream home.
