Hemel Garden Communities

What is Hemel Garden Communities?

Hemel Garden Communities (HGC) is an ambitious development programme which will transform Hemel Hempstead and create attractive and sustainable new neighbourhoods and communities to the north and east of Hemel Hempstead, through the delivery of around 11,000 new homes and 10,000 new jobs by 2050.

We’re working in partnership with Dacorum Borough Council, St Albans City and District Council, Hertfordshire County Council, Hertfordshire Futures and Hertfordshire Innovation Quarter to deliver the Hemel Garden Communities programme, which will provide a variety of benefits to Hemel Hempstead. These include new high-quality homes, of which 40% will be affordable. New neighbourhoods will be centred around vibrant local centres, green spaces and play areas, all easily accessed on foot. Sustainable travel such as walking, cycling and public transport will be given priority as we target a greener, healthier environment which includes open spaces as well as new country and district parks.

HGC will create 10,000 new jobs. Many of these will be in Hertfordshire Innovation Quarter, a new business park with a range of facilities including flexible office and industrial spaces, and a variety of amenities to serve the local community.

The creation of sustainable transport choices and links between Maylands, the town centre and Hemel Hempstead train station, plus wider connections to both St Albans City and St Albans Abbey train stations, will achieve connected and sustainable communities.
