Integrated Neighbourhoods

Everything on your doorstep
Connected neighbourhoods

Hemel Garden Communities will be made up of a series of neighbourhoods that will be built to sustainable standards. They will be carefully integrated and connected to both new and the existing neighbourhoods with lively, well designed local centres within walking distance. These local centres will provide opportunities for communities to come together, to shop, worship, go to school, access green spaces and play areas. Active and sustainable travel modes like walking, cycling and public transport will be prioritised, maximising the physical and mental wellbeing of all members of the community.
