We have recently received planning approval for the residential development of a gateway site on Two Waters Rd, Hemel Hempstead, to provide 39No.flats with associated parking, landscaping and amenity space. The building consists of 16-1 bed, 20-2 bed and 3-3 bed flats.

The proposal responds to the existing context of the site which is recognised as a key gateway in to the town, providing a landmark building to the area. The appearance is simple and elegantly proportioned, allows lots of natural light and maximises the views available in this area.

The proposal is designed in a way that safeguards the open land setting of the site. The trees are an important feature of the site and the proposal maximises their ecological/environmental benefits. The layout recognises the need for a balance between density, open space and the relationship with the surrounding built environment.

The scheme has been designed to high standards in terms of internal and external space to provide a pleasant environment and a fitting addition to the area.

• Gateway building to town
• 100% affordable housing
• Design maximises views and use of natural light
• Many trees retained as an important ecological feature of the site
