Appeal over six-bed house plan in 'East of England's most expensive street'
Plans to build a six-bedroom home in 'the East of England's most expensive street' have gone to appeal. The applicant submitted a proposal for demolishing an early 20th century home in Loom Lane, Radlett, and building a modern replacement in March. According to a heritage report, it is one of the original buildings in the road and is described as a 'modest three-bay cottage' with two storeys. The proposed house is slightly larger but keeps the same build line and height while apparently being "influenced" by the design of other homes in the road. Tweaks to the design were made in May. Although a determination deadline of June 27 was set by Hertsmere Borough Council, the application has still not been decided. Loom Lane, Radlett (Image: Google Street View) An appeal against the non-determination was therefore started last week. During the process so far, Environmental Health recommended approval with conditions, Aldenham Parish Council objected, Radlett Society and Green Belt Association asked that it be called in for a committee meeting, and Thames Water raised no objection but offered March, a study by The Times found that Loom Lane is the most expensive road in the East of England with an average house price of £4,372,000 based on properties on sales at the time. The newspaper added that Loom Lane offers "bling-tastic gated new-build mansions which some residents feel are garish and out-of-kilter". A seven-bedroom house in the road went for £7,450,000 in May, according to Rightmove.
