Three consultation events, starting next week, are to be held over plans for up to 900 homes at Letchworth.

Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation plans to develop a former Green Belt site near The Grange to the north of the town, named LG1 in the Local Plan.

Three masterplan options have been put forward, each including a new primary school and a neighbourhood centre although no secondary schools or GP surgeries are planned. Forty per cent of the homes will be affordable.

Comments can be submitted up until November 17 and before the end of 2023 one of the options will be chosen and refined before submission of a planning application to North Herts Council by Spring 2024 with a hoped-for decision by next Summer.

Public exhibitions of the plans will be held on:

  • Monday, October 30, 5pm-9pm – Grange Academy, SG6 4PY
  • Saturday, November 4, 10am-2pm – The Stables, Three Horseshoes, Norton Road, SG6 1AG
  • Wednesday, November 15, 5pm-9pm – Grange Academy, SG6 4PY
