The scheme, which is in the early stages of development, is set to deliver several hundred housing units on the 20 acre site alongside cafés and restaurants to complement the existing town centre and other community assets for Welwyn Garden City.
The development will be closely guided by ‘garden city principles’ ensuring that greenery, space and a sense of community feed through all aspects of design. It is also hoped that developing housing in this brownfield location will help the council meet its increased housing targets and reduce pressure on the Green Belt areas surrounding Welwyn Garden City.
