Not much has changed in Sarratt since its rolling green fields provided the backdrop for Hugh Grant's bumbling best man speech in Four Weddings And A Funeral.Its quintessentially British scenery - admired by the millions who turned out to see that quintessentially British rom-com - remains untouched, while a list of its attractions would still consist exclusively of three excellent pubs and a Post Office.From the distant sound of horses' hooves clipping the surface of its narrow roads to the complete absence of Uber, solid phone signal or any semblance of public transport, Sarratt is stuck in a bygone era many would like to return to.But the Hertfordshire village is facing an existential threat at the hands of Labour housing targets that locals say could 'ruin' their rural idyll forever.Planning applications are proposing 289 newbuild homes on the area's Green Belt land - an increase of 53.5 per cent, according to campaigners.An initial development was blocked in 2023 but later approved on appeal after being taken all the way to the Planning Inspectorate.At the time, officials said the village was an inappropriate location for such projects and recommended the development be the last of its kind.But families living in Sarratt have been hit by a slew of fresh building proposals - and are concerned this is just the beginning.They worry the vast housing projects will be a blot on the landscape, and threaten local wildlife, as well as their peaceful rural environment.
