The site is located approximately 2km south east of Letchworth town centre and approximately 3.5km south west of Baldock town centre.
The site benefits from existing vehicular access to the south, via Radburn Way. Radburn Way runs west to east directly south of the site and connects to Letchworth Gate (A505) which crosses, and has access to, Junction 9 of the A1(M). Junction 9 of the A1(M) is located approximately 1.5km to the south of the site.
The site comprises an area of land which is approximately 0.56 acres and is bound to the south by Radburn Way, to the north by Jackman’s Community Centre, to the west by a residential care home and to the east by the pedestrian access to the Jackman’s Community Centre and Ivel Court. The site itself comprises a hard surfaced area, currently used as a car park in addition to two grassland areas separated by the tarmac access from Radburn Way to the car park. One of the grassland areas(towards the east of the site) is framed by shrubs and plants and the other (towards the west of the site)comprises a group of approximately 15 trees. The site is located within the administrative boundary of North Hertfordshire District Council.
The site is previously developed land and the effective re-use of brownfield land is in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).
There are no adopted or emerging planning policies that specifically protect against the loss of existing car parking spaces, nonetheless this will be a key planning issue that will need to be satisfied in order to justify redevelopment.
Should the policies associated with the loss of the existing use can be satisfied, the site would be suited to a mix of uses including residential, town centre uses (of an appropriate scale) and community uses.
