Planning in Potters Bar — beyond the golf course
PottersBar.Vision focuses its detailed research on the former golf course, but planning in Potters Bar extends far beyond one site. We encourage every resident to engage with consultations that affect their neighbourhood. The Hertsmere Local Plan covers sites across the whole borough — not just the golf course.
