BISH4 Land South of Hadham Road
Land South of Hadham Road will accommodate around 247 new homes between 2017 and 2027.
A Masterplan will be collaboratively prepared, involving site promoters, landowners, East Herts Council, Hertfordshire County Council, Bishop’s Stortford Town Council, and other key stakeholders. This document will further be informed by public participation in the process.

- necessary utilities, including integrated communications infrastructure to facilitate home-working, and upgrades to the localised sewerage network;
- sustainable drainage and provision for flood mitigation;
- access arrangements and wider strategic and local highways mitigation measures;
- sustainable transport measures which encourage walking and cycling, and enhanced passenger transport services;
