Plans have been submitted to demolish a home in Smallford to allow eight new properties to be created.
If accepted, 53 Station Road would be removed with homes constructed both on the land and land to the rear of 55-59 Station Road.
Each new dwelling would consist of three bedrooms, with parking and landscaping included in the plans.
A planning statement included within the application reads: "All dwellings proposed would be two storey in height with pitched roofs.
"The pair of semi detached dwellings at the front of the site would have a hipped roof and traditional appearance.
"All dwellings would have mono pitched porches over the front doors. All dwellings would have PV (solar) panels on the roof slopes."
A comment from a resident of Station Road reads: "I have been very impressed with the professional caring approach Jarvis Homes have had to this.
"Extensive environmental surveys were carried out along with detailed two way consultations with us, the most impacted property, discussing my issues and altering plans to make the proposal agreeable as possible.
SUGGESTED READING
"I understand a 'not on my doorstep' attitude as an emotional first response but when this application is looked at with a measured, considered thought process, we would be foolhardy to object."
The plans can be viewed by using reference 5/2024/0454 on the St Albans City & District Council planning portal.
No objections have yet been made.
