DESCRIPTION
The broadly level site extends to circa 0.39 acres and is currently occupied by light industrial units. Immediately adjoining the site to the west are neighbouring properties 28A & 28B Hempsted Lane which were converted from their original industrial/office uses to create residential dwellings (consented in 2017). The site is bordered to the north by an unnamed road which leads to Hempsted Recycling Centre, Hempsted Lane to the east, existing commercial development to the west. Immediately abutting the site to the south is an area of open space associated with the recently delivered housing redevelopment of the former oil
depot. According to the Government's Flood Map for Planning, the site is entirely within Flood Zone 3, although the site is clearly situated in an elevated position and is not known to have flooded.
It is envisaged that due to the Flood Zone, a detailed Flood Risk Assessment and Topographical Survey will be required.
