Local Plan
The Local Plan is the blueprint for growth in Welwyn Hatfield, mapping out where future homes, businesses and leisure facilities will go. Our current local plan was adopted in 2023.
Homes
The Local Plan aims to deliver the new homes our future generations will need to live and raise their own families in the borough.
The Local Plan considers more than just new homes. It also sets aside the space to deliver 17,000 new jobs to help ensure our local economy continues to thrive.
The ability to provide supporting infrastructure continues to inform our decisions when we're seeking to identify the most suitable sites. The Local Plan includes a separate infrastructure delivery plan and we're liaising closely with Herts County Council, the NHS, and other agencies to ensure all necessary improvements are made.
