The idyllic villages of Welham Green, Brookmans Park, and the surrounding areas are facing a drastic transformation. With proposals for around 1,000 new homes in Welham Green alone, we are looking at a possible 50% increase in local housing. This enormous expansion is not accompanied by confirmed plans for additional schools, GP surgeries, improved road networks, or other essential services, leaving our beloved communities on the brink of unimaginable strain.

Our aim is to safeguard these cherished green spaces and ensure that any development is thoughtfully planned, with appropriate infrastructure in place. The government’s national planning rules need urgent reform to offer greater protection for our local environment and community balance. We are not opposed to development, but growth must be sustainable and considerate of the unique characteristics and needs of our region.

The allure of Welham Green and Brookmans Park is in their verdant spaces and close-knit communities. These attributes are at serious risk if excessive housing developments proceed unchecked.

Join us in urging the government to reform planning laws that prioritize green space preservation and mandate thorough infrastructure plans before development approval.
