The human version (we wrote this, not the council)This section sets out the site allocations for Mill End. Four sites are allocated with a combined indicative capacity of around 548 homes. The main site is Land to the South of Shepherds Lane and East of the M25, a 20.8 hectare grey belt site for 520 homes plus supporting uses including gypsy and traveller pitches, a medical centre or GP surgery, extra care housing and public open space.

The human version (we wrote this, not the council)This policy protects the district's heritage, including 352 listed buildings, 22 Conservation Areas, Scheduled Monuments, registered parks and gardens, and locally important buildings. Applications affecting a designated heritage asset must include a Heritage Statement explaining the asset's significance and the proposal's impact. Substantial harm to or loss of listed buildings and other designated assets will be refused unless substantial public benefits outweigh the harm. In Conservation Areas, development must preserve or enhance character and appearance, with strict tests for demolition, and reuse of historic buildings to help tackle climate change is supported where significance is not harmed.
