Conversations about the controversial Marshcroft development in Tring are ongoing, with a Tring councillor on Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) now sharing her views.
TRINGnews has been following the community response to the proposals submitted by Redrow and Harrow Estates, which could see up to 2,050 new homes built on land east of Marshcroft Farm in Tring. The proposals are part of the Dacorum Local Plan to 2041.
A public consultation was held from Monday, November 4, to Sunday, November 17, during which residents shared their views. Now, HCC has responded.
Speaking to TRINGnews, HCC councillor for Tring Sally Symington said: “I’ve consistently opposed the development of Marshcroft, speaking at the Appeal Hearing in 2023 and voting against the Local Plan in October 2024.
“The Planning Inspector will judge whether the plan is sound. Whatever the outcome, I will continue to represent residents in Tring and the villages by campaigning for the delivery of appropriate infrastructure, including schools, highways, sports facilities and health provision in our community.
“Alongside this, I’m working to protect our precious Chiltern National Landscape whilst ensuring it is accessible for all to enjoy.
“As the county councillor for Tring and the villages, a member of the Chiltern Conservation Board (CCB) and borough councillor at Dacorum, I have worked to balance the requirement to meet ambitious government housing targets in Dacorum with the need to save and protect our green spaces for future generations to enjoy.”
