Rare Roman burial mounds of national importance could be under threat if access plans to a construction site where 64 apartments will be built get the green light, say objectors.
The developer already has planning permission for an eight-storey building of 64 apartments on the car park next to Six Hills House on the corner of Six Hills Way and London Road in Stevenage.
For site access, approval is now being sought to divert the existing cycle path and create a turning circle at the front.
Assistant director for planning and regulation at Stevenage Borough Council, Zayd Al-Jawad, said: The council has received an application for development of land to the west of Stevenage from Taylor Wimpey and Persimmon Homes. The application is for 1,500 new homes, including 30 per cent affordable homes, along with sports facilities, open spaces, transport and access arrangements, a primary school and a local centre. This application relates to a site which has been allocated within the Stevenage Borough Local Plan. This is a major application, and will be subject to extensive review and consultation with residents and statutory organisations in the months ahead.
