We aim to ensure that needs of the people of WGC are at the forefront of all considerations of major development, so that change offers sustainable and tangible benefits.
Many of the new developments in WGC will be sold as leasehold flats. There are a range of issues potential new owners will need to consider when purchasing leasehold.
Owned by Tarmac this site is partly on a former tip so is a complex, large site. It also straddles two local authorities – WelwynHatfield and East Hertfordshire.
Owned by the Council this site has been leased to Bellway to develop into housing accommodation from its current use as a car park, behind Waitrose.
New owners of the Wheat Quarter site, IJM, have submitted a new planning application townhouses, residential care for the elderly, an aparthotel and build to rent homes.
Wheat Quarter Southside is owned by Metropolitan Thames Valley Housing (MTVH) and the first building has been completed, with new occupiers having already moved in.
The BioPark site was our first campaign - we galvanised the WGC community to demand better design and impressed upon the council how important good quality design was for residents of WGC.
