Beechcroft acquires planning permission in Shenley

Planning permission on this ‘grey belt’ site of just over 10 acres, which is set partially within the Shenley Conservation Area, was granted at appeal, being judged to be sustainably located and to meet pressing local need.

The new homes will include houses and apartments, half of which will be available as affordable tenure homes including as the Discounted Market Sale scheme, whereby people over the age of 55 with strong local connections are able to buy at less than the full market value. 

The development, which will be set in beautifully landscaped and fully maintained grounds, will include a comfortable lounge where residents will be able to socialise over coffee and hold events and celebrations and a luxurious guest suite which may be booked by residents for visiting family and friends.   The development, which will feature allocated parking with electric vehicle charging points, will also provide an estate management service to handle the day-to-day administration of the development including the cleaning and maintenance of communal areas and the upkeep of both private gardens and the landscaped setting.
