Homes Builder Consults on Chesham Road Plans

Taylor Wimpey held the first public consultation event in July on its plans for a parcel of land at Chesham Road, which is divided by Swing Gate Lane.

The proposed development of up to 850 mixed tenure homes will, the developers said, include extra care and affordable homes to meet needs.

The site is also set to include a local centre/community hub with a mix of potential non-residential uses  to include convenience small scale retail uses, community, primary health care uses (with potential for a  GP and/or dental surgery), and/or flexible co-working space.

There will also be land for a primary school with a nursery; landscaping, open space and outdoor sports provision; children’s play areas, natural and semi-natural spaces, amenity space including parks and gardens, and allotments. A network of pedestrian and cycle routes will improve connectivity to the town centre and countryside, while a new bus loop will serve the site itself.

A second consultation event will be held later in the year before plans are submitted to Dacorum Borough Council. Find out more at www.southberkhamsted.co.uk.
