This is the Orchard land at the rear of the private houses on Baldock Road between Letchworth Gate and the BP garage. The land was acquired at the time the council compulsorily purchased Jackman's Estate land from the Letchworth Garden City Corporation. A provision of the Arbitrator/Inspector's decision on the compulsory purchase was that the land should be left as Garden City style green space between the estate and the private, original Garden City houses, NHDC obviously wishes to avoid that decision since the sale of the land to a developer would bring in a million or two in addition to the presently 35 x £10,000 (new homes bonus). There also doesn't appear to be a good place to enter the site (roadway) as the current access is too narrow for a road.
