I heard yesterday that when Tesco moves away from Cheshunt, it has proposed plans for lots and lots of houses.
I have no idea how or why the council would allow such a change of use as the area is marked down as industrial, and usually councils don't allow for offices to be knocked down and flats built - but they, this is Tesco.
Anyway, without knowing just how much Tesco owns (given they have so many buildings but may well be sub-leasing other buildings) it's not clear what the overall plans might be.. but it seems that part of the development would be to relocate Cheshunt station.
Now that might be a good thing if it means a better car park (multi-storey I'd assume?) and doing away with the level crossing, which could maybe become a bridge, but it's all hearsay at the moment.
Does anyone here know anything more? I assume this isn't in any way related to other planned works on the line, relating to Crossrail 2 or STAR etc - but rather a much bigger 'local plan'
