CS34: Maylands Business Park

New development will:

  • contribute fully to the achievement of use, movement and design principles; and
  • meet relevant opportunities for character zones within Maylands Business Park.

The principles guiding development are to:

  • use:
    • secure HQ offices and other, complementary uses in an open land setting in Maylands Gateway;
    • deliver services and facilities to support small and large businesses in appropriate character zones;
    • deliver a local centre in the Heart of Maylands to support residents and workers;
    • create an energy park or alternative provision for green energy generation;
    • secure better waste management facilities;
    • retain and improve the Nickey Line, and create new public meeting spaces;
  • movement:
    • secure an integrated public transport hub;
    • facilitate easier walking and cycling throughout the business park;
    • establish an area-wide Green Travel Plan with appropriate traffic management and parking;
    • create a new access point off Breakspear Way to link to Boundary Way;
    • complete the North East Hemel Hempstead relief road;
    • secure a lorry parking facility near the North East Hemel Hempstead relief road;
  • design:
    • emphasise the importance of movement gateways through appropriate features and bolder building design, height and landscaping;
    • distinguish between character zones and follow a co-ordinated approach to building design, movement and streetscape;
    • deliver district heating and additional large-scale/high capacity renewable energy generation technologies.

Specific opportunities for each character zone are identified in Figure 18: East Hemel Hempstead Character Zones and Development Opportunities.

The East Hemel Hempstead Area Action Plan will provide further guidance.
