Doverfield Goffs Oak Ltd has lodged an appeal with the Secretary of State following the Borough of Broxbourne Council's decision regarding their planning application. The application concerns the erection of four detached dwellings on land situated to the rear of 21 to 32 Doverfeild, Goffs Oak, Hertfordshire, Waltham Cross EN7 5EL. This appeal is being processed under the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015, specifically under Articles 13 and 36.

The original application sought permission in principle for the development, which was not granted by the local council. As a result, Doverfield Goffs Oak Ltd is now appealing this decision, seeking a favourable outcome from the Planning Inspectorate.

How can I make representations about this appeal?

Interested parties, particularly landowners or tenants affected by this proposal, are encouraged to submit their representations. These should be directed to The Planning Inspectorate at Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Bristol BS1 6PN by Thursday June 12, 2025. It is important for those making representations to clearly state their status as either an owner or tenant of the site in question.

What rights do landowners and tenants have?

The notice clarifies that granting planning permission does not inherently alter an owner's rights to retain or dispose of their property unless specified otherwise in any existing agreements or leases. For agricultural tenants, however, there may be implications regarding their security of tenure if planning permission for non-agricultural development is granted.

Who is managing this appeal?

The appeal is being managed by Mr Tom Donovan, acting as an agent for Peter George Town Planning. The notice was officially signed and dated on Thursday May 29, 2025.

For further details on this planning appeal and its potential implications for local residents and stakeholders, please refer to the original public notice available at Public Notice Portal.

Those who have any concerns or believe they may be adversely impacted by this proposed development are encouraged to engage with the process by submitting their views before the deadline.
