Cheshunt LakesideIntroduction

This Masterplan Strategy accompanies our client’s representations on the Broxbourne Draft Local Plan which are made by Montagu Evans.

The representations support the proposals for ‘Cheshunt Lakeside’ described in Policy CH1.

Our client supports the emerging policy and this document identifies the scope for a new mixed use urban village by setting out the initial strategy for a comprehensive masterplan to be developed over the coming months.

Cheshunt Lakeside is a strategically important location with good sustainability credentials.

Existing rail links offer significant accessibility from Cheshunt Station and the future offers further major improvements with crossrail 2.

Increasing the number of homes and jobs within walking distance of the station maximises the advantages of the location.

By ensuring that the site is developed to its optimum potential the Council will be prioritising previously developed land to meet local needs thereby reducing pressure for expansion in the green belt.

The allocation of the site as an urban village is therefore a sustainable proposition when viewed at a strategic level.
