Dacorum’s Future Unveiled: New Plan Sets the Stage for Growth

Exciting developments are on the horizon for Dacorum! The borough has officially submitted its local plan for independent examination, setting the stage for transformative growth. This carefully crafted blueprint aims to deliver 1,016 new homes per year up to 2041, ensuring that future developments are well-placed and thoughtfully designed to meet the borough’s evolving needs.

But it’s not just about housing—this plan goes beyond numbers. It lays the groundwork for thriving communities by ensuring that new developments come with essential infrastructure. Schools, healthcare facilities, parks, roads, and utility upgrades are all part of the vision, creating well-connected, livable neighbourhoods.

Councillor Adrian England, portfolio holder for place at Dacorum Borough Council, explained the importance of this step: “This local plan is a vital step forward in ensuring that Dacorum grows in a coherent, sustainable, and protected way. It provides the framework to achieve that, and I am confident that it will stand up to scrutiny in the examination process.”

He also emphasised the delicate balance between growth and preservation, ensuring that while housing and economic development move forward, the borough’s unique character and natural environment remain safeguarded. This plan is not just about building homes—it’s about shaping a future where people and places can truly thrive.

FAQ

  • Why are you so much cheaper than some other providers are?

    Some providers, including architects, charge as much as four times more. Because we specialise Only in Planning Applications and thanks to our streamlined innovative process, we can complete more quality projects at the same time.

  • How can I pay?

    We accept all major debit cards, credit cards and bank transfers.

  • Can you obtain planning permission for my project?

    Yes. We will prepare all the necessary information and drawings required for your project and submit your application to your local council as your agent. You will be liable for the fee, which you will have to pay directly to your local authority.

    As your agent, we will liaise with the council on your behalf with any queries or requests that they have.

  • Can I design my own house without an architect?

    There’s no legal requirement to have an architect by your side. However, for any major project, such as extension, extensive renovation, or new build, an architect can help you get the most out of your project, ensure it meets all legal requirements, advise on budgets and contractors, plus much more.

  • How can you prepare the plans without visiting my house?

    Quite easily actually! We’ve been doing this since 2019 and have completed THOUSANDS of perfectly accurate drawing sets. We are basically offering clients a cost-saving process if they are happy to do this bit themselves.

    As we’re using official OS Maps to produce the drawings, we have accurate measuruments of your house already. The existing property does not need planning permission and we can get the exact measurements for existing property online.

    For anything not yet built there is nothing to see or measure, we can only draw what you ask for.
