Planning Application Overview

Hertfordshire County Council has announced a proposed planning application concerning the Cattlegate Farm site on Cattlegate Road, Northaw, Potters Bar. This application seeks to vary condition number 3 regarding the hours of operation from a previous planning permission granted in July 2013. The site is currently used as a composting facility handling up to 25,000 tonnes per annum of biodegradable waste.

Details of the Proposal

The proposal includes a minor modification to the route of Footpath 15 along the eastern side of the site. Importantly, this development is situated within the Green Belt, which may raise specific considerations regarding environmental impact and land use.

Public Participation and Viewing

All documents related to this application are accessible online at Hertfordshire County Council's planning portal. Members of the public are encouraged to submit their comments either through the website or by post to the Spatial Planning Unit at Hertfordshire County Council by 11 December 2025.

Potential Impacts and Considerations

• Environmental Impact: As the site is within the Green Belt, there may be concerns about maintaining ecological balance and preserving natural landscapes.
• Community Access: The modification of Footpath 15 could affect local walking routes and accessibility.
• Operational Changes: Changes in operational hours might influence local traffic patterns and noise levels.

Those who have any concerns or believe they may be adversely impacted are encouraged to review the application details and participate in the consultation process.
