Planning consent is being sought for the construction of 65 apartments at Millworks, on the former West Herts College campus in Kings Langley and for 66 homes at Cedarbrook Rise, off Burton Lane in Goffs Oak.

Ali Maruf, Managing Director of Bellway North London, said: “This extensive building programme represents a huge commitment by Bellway to Hertfordshire.

"We have identified a need for new housing in the county and are in the process of delivering those homes.

“Following the success of the four developments where new homes are already being built, we see a further expansion into Hertfordshire as a key growth area for us as a company.

"We have another four sites where we aim to create more new communities and extra housing to meet the rising demand in the area.”

The company has also acquired land earmarked for 219 new properties at St James’ Park in Bishop’s Stortford, which is part of wider 750-home scheme including a care home, shops, employment space, a primary school and a new home for The Bishop’s Stortford High School.

Ali Maruf, said: “Over the eight sites we aim to provide more than 1,100 new homes to Hertfordshire by 2024.

"The developments themselves are both large and small and between them offer a comprehensive mix of housing, including houses and apartments, which will appeal to a wide range of purchasers with varying needs.

“At some developments, we are transforming brownfield land into vibrant new communities, breathing new life into previously neglected and unappealing sites.

"Many of our developments are conveniently placed near railway stations which provide easy access into central London for commuters.

“We are proud to be a part of Hertfordshire’s growing success story, as more and more people move into the county to settle down and make their homes here.”
