Three new homes may be constructed on the site of an existing St Albans property, if plans submitted to St Albans City & District Council are accepted.
The application, validated last Tuesday (April 23), would see 480 Hatfield Road and its garage demolished with new dwellings constructed to 482 Hatfield Road.
The existing house at 482 Hatfield Road would be retained, with each new home featuring three storeys and five bedrooms.
Three bathrooms, a formal reception room, study and large kitchen-dining room would also be included in the new-builds.
Each plot will feature electric charging points in their parking bays.
A planning statement included within the application reads: "The proposal is considered to provide a high-quality development that protects and preserves the character of the area.
"The frontage of 480-482 Hatfield Road has been designed to create a welcoming urban environment for occupiers, and to enhance the street scene.
SUGGESTED READING
"The proposal will cause no loss of amenity to neighbouring occupiers and future occupiers will be afforded good living conditions."
The full plans can be viewed by using reference 5/2024/0567 on the St Albans City & District Council planning portal.
