Land south of Waterdell Lane, St Ippolyts
New Homes
The scheme will provide 52 new homes in a mixture of 1 – 4 bedroom houses and apartments. 21 of the new homes (40%) will be affordable homes, in accordance with North Hertfordshire District Council’s emerging Local Plan policies and discussions with the Council’s housing team.
A simple palette of building materials is proposed including red brick, black and white weatherboarding and off-white render, with locally-inspired details such as bay windows, chimneys and door canopies. The scheme has been designed to create a varied and interesting street scene through a mixture of house types and building sizes. All houses are limited to a maximum height of two storeys.

Public Open Space
In the westernmost part of the site, an area of public open space is proposed, with new tree planting and grassland creating an area for recreation and informal play.
In the north-eastern corner of the site, the Ice House will be retained, as well as the strong surrounding landscape of mature trees on the corner of London Road and Half Handkerchief Lane. In addition, to protect the setting of the Ice House further, a large ‘dry’ infiltration pond will neighbour the Ice House on its northern and western sides, creating an attractive area of public open space for this part of the site, as well as collecting surface water run-off from the site during periods of heavy rainfall (click on the Drainage page for more information).
