PP4: Maxwells Farm West and Rush Meadow

Acceptable land uses for this area will be compatible with the economic development strategy and vision for the borough, providing high-value jobs within a landscaped environment.

Development proposals for this area should:

  • include appropriate provision for businesses displaced from Brookfield Riverside (policy BR1) and Cheshunt Lakeside (policy CH1);
  • provide semi-natural green corridors along the New River and existing cycle path;
  • include an appropriate landscape buffer to maintain a sense of openness to the landscape along the A10;
  • achieve scale, massing and design sensitive to the historic assets associated with Cedars Park;
  • take account of long views, for example across the Lea Valley and north towards Bishops’ College bell tower and St. Mary’s church;
  • provide vehicular access compatible with Park Plaza West (policy PP1);
  • ensure that the comprehensive development of Rush Meadow and Maxwells Farm West is not prejudiced;
  • facilitate the comprehensive delivery of transport and utilities infrastructure to the wider area; and
  • make proportionate contributions to off-site infrastructure required to serve the wider area.
