Following extensive consultation with local residents last autumn, Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation has developed the preferred masterplan option for LG1 – Land North of Letchworth.
We were pleased to meet so many people at our events and engagement sessions last year and hear about the local community’s priorities for development. Following our engagement with the local community, stakeholders and technical work, we are now ready to present the preferred masterplan for feedback. The preferred masterplan responds to all the research, technical constraints and feedback we have gathered so far, demonstrating what we think the best solutions are based on these.
We’re keen to hear about your thoughts on the masterplan for LG1, including what you like and dislike about the preferred option and are holding a public consultation until Tuesday 26th March to capture this feedback. To share your views please complete the survey at the bottom of this page. The next step is to receive further feedback before a finalised masterplan is submitted to North Herts Council for approval.
Masterplan options feedback
We received feedback on a range of topics covering the assessment criteria for the masterplan: natural infrastructure, transport infrastructure, land use & urban design. Your feedback covers green spaces and biodiversity/landscaping, road layout, access points, local infrastructure and key views. We are also looking at the Grange Rec as part of the proposals and received valuable feedback on how we can work with the District Council to make improvements to suit the needs of the community. Thank you to everyone who provided their feedback to ensure the preferred masterplan is tailored to local needs, we were delighted to speak to so many people.
Preferred masterplan
Following our consultation activities on the masterplan options from October – November 2023, and ongoing community engagement since, we have developed the preferred masterplan for LG1 below:
