How many flats for the Water Gardens car parks?

  • We need proper public consultation now on the future of Hemel’s Water Gardens car parks
  • It’s nearly THREE YEARS since the car parks – key to the setting of the lovely listed Water Gardens – were first advertised to ‘investors’ as ‘opportunity sites’ for building on
  • The Council set out a ‘Town Centre Vision’ in July 2023. It wants it to be ‘a leisure and cultural hub’
  • The car parks would ‘need to respond to the changing context through the intensification of developments and activities.’ 
  •  A ‘joint team’ from Housebuilders Hill Group and the Council are now working on affordable housing plans 
  • They are also seeking hundreds of car spaces for the Market Square ‘neighbourhood health centre’
  • The planned number of flats or houses has not been made public – that should be put right NOW
  • This is the link to the Town Centre Vision:
