Site Description

In the heart of the Golden Triangle between Oxford, Cambridge and London, Hemel Garden Communities will create new neighbourhoods and transform existing ones and the wider area, building on the best of its heritage and culture to become a greener, more connected New Town.

Hemel Garden Communities will be home to inclusive, integrated neighbourhoods connected by a green network, and thoughtfully designed places with engaged communities, all underpinned by digital connectivity, a self-sustaining economy and pioneering green technology.

The programme will not only deliver new homes and jobs, but it will also provide new local centres, reflecting the approach taken to the original New Town. Opportunities for new education, health and recreation and leisure services are also proposed. 

Partners to the Hemel Garden Communities programme include Dacorum Borough Council, St Albans City & District Council, Hertfordshire County Council, and the Hertfordshire Innovation Quarter. The programme was granted Garden Community status in 2019 and is supported by Homes England.
