Site Description

The site forms part of the Hemel Garden Communities Programme, which will create attractive, sustainable new neighbourhoods to the north and east of Hemel Hempstead by 2050.

It includes Hertfordshire Innovation Quarter (Herts IQ), at its heart, anchoring the transformation of Hemel Hempstead and the wider area.

A mix of employment uses is planned, linked to the council’s recent evidence base and
vision for Herts IQ to enable 8,000 jobs. Uses include high quality offices, research and development, light industrial and logistics. Ancillary uses will be supported where they meet the needs of businesses. An over-concentration of low employment generating logistics is not anticipated.
