Size

Location
Hertfordshire

We constructed all enabling infrastructure including a four-lane dumbbell roundabout and access road into the development, offsite reinforcement of foul water drainage and new HV electricity connection, unlocking the land and creating fully serviced development parcels for housebuilders.

We worked closely with the Council, key stakeholders and the local community to ensure that there would be a design and placemaking legacy in place at the completion of the development. Each stage of the project was centred around these joint aspirations.

Placemaking, stewardship, legacy and sustainability

The green infrastructure is multifunctional and the built form is delivered through detailed stage codes, which allowed for the provision of high-quality walking routes, play spaces, areas for environmental enhancements, sports facilities and creation of a high-quality place.
The site exceeded all the Council’s required sustainability standards. The masterplan delivers 50% landscaped open space and allows for a network of footpath connections facilitating greater public access and good quality pedestrian and cycle linkages.

Our approach 

We work closely with communities to deliver places that will continue to benefit the people who live there, for many years to come.
