David Wilson Homes has secured reserved matters approval from North Hertfordshire Council for a new 120-home development in Letchworth.
The Heritage Gardens scheme will be built on a 13-acre site at Talbot Way, formerly owned by Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation. David Wilson Homes has partnered with the foundation to develop a contemporary interpretation of traditional garden city housing.
The development will include one- and two-bedroom apartments, alongside two-, three-, four and five-bedroom houses. There will also be 48 affordable homes, comprising a mix of affordable rent, shared ownership and social rent properties.
Plans for the site also include two main public green spaces, retained woodland, tree-lined streets, pocket parks and dedicated play areas.
Lauren Potter, development director at Barratt David Wilson North Thames, said: “Heritage Gardens on the edge of Letchworth will take the very best principles that founded this beautiful garden city and update them for a new generation. Homes here will be surrounded by green spaces, sustainably built and designed to facilitate healthy and active lifestyles.”
