North East Herts MP, Sir Oliver Heald, has written to East Herts Planning Department to object to a planning application for 98 properties.
Commenting, Sir Oliver said, “I have received a number of complaints and objections to the Gladman proposal for 98 homes in Walkern. The figure is double the number specified by East Herts, it will affect infrastructure, and will increase pressure on the High Street traffic situation. This is already an unsafe road.
"The Walkern Neighbourhood Planning Group has surveyed opinion in the village, which is overwhelmingly opposed to a development of this size. I hope the application will be refused.”
