Welwyn Hatfield - CLT10 Nurseries and Childcare Facilities

Policy information sourced from Welwyn Hatfield District Plan

CLT10 Nurseries and Childcare Facilities

Proposals for nurseries or childcare facilities will be granted permission provided that:

Proposals make adequate provision for car parking, safe dropping off and picking up areas and have no harmful impact on the highway network including highway safety;
Proposals have no harmful impact on nearby residential properties and other uses or the character of the area;
Proposals would not detract from the visual amenity of the area; and
Where a proposal involves a residential property, the use remains subordinate to the main residential use of the dwelling.

Developers of housing schemes will be expected to make a contribution to the provision of nurseries or childcare facilities, where the development would result in overcrowding of existing facilities or young children having to travel unacceptable distances to obtain a place in a facility.
