Mixed-use scheme will include new shops and 150 homes
Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council has appointed Morgan Sindall-owned Lovell to develop part of Hatfield in a 拢45m deal.
The mixed-use scheme (pictured) will revamp the Hertfordshire town鈥檚 centre, originally built in the 1950s, with new shops, and around 150 homes, ranging from one-bedroom flats to three-bedroom houses.
Following consultations with the local community, work is now beginning on a planning application, laying out detailed proposals for the phased redevelopment.
Roger Trigg, Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council鈥檚 executive member for corporate property, said the re-developed homes and business space would 鈥渂reathe new life into the area and we also hope to improve its accessibility, both locally and to other parts of the town.
鈥淲e are starting to develop more detailed plans and look forward to hearing what everyone thinks about the proposals later next year.鈥�
A planning application for the development is expected to be submitted next year, with the overall construction programme to be completed in 2022.
