Delivering new
homes in Cuffley

Bellway Homes, one of the UK’s largest housebuilders, has purchased the land to the North East of King George V Playing Fields, Northaw Road East, Cuffley.

The previous owners of the land, Land Improvements, gained Outline Planning Permission in December 2021 for a development of 121 homes and apartments on the site.

This established the number of homes that could be built alongside the height and the principles around issues such as drainage.

Bellway Homes are now submitting what is known as a Reserved Matters Planning Application to Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council which will propose details such as the street layouts and the design details of the homes and apartments to be built.

If planning permission is granted in the Autumn of 2022 then it is expected that development will begin before the end of this year.

The image below shows the proposed layout of the development, with the lighter shaded roofs showing the location of the affordable homes.

Key facts about the application

121 homes and apartments will be built, with 42 being affordable

The mix will be comprised of 30 1&2 bed apartments and 91 2,3&4 bed homes

311 parking spaces will be provided, including 23 visitor spaces

All of the 274 allocated parking spaces will have electric vehicle charging connections
