WORK IS UNDERWAY ON THE £ 45M REGENERATION OF THE HIGH VIEW AREA , HATFIELD
The existing neighbourhood centre , known as “ Hill Top ” is the retail centre of South Hatfield . Once a modern , well used and loved neighbourhood centre , the existing buildings on the site are undergoing redevelopment as many have fallen into disrepair .
Developer Lovell signed a development agreement , to deliver a £ 45 million regeneration programme which will transform the heart of South Hatfield , with brand-new shops and homes , including affordable homes and properties for sale .
The regeneration programme has been designed to ensure businesses can continue to trade throughout the works .
Hatfield Rise Hatfield Rise , in High View , is an impressive new development leading the town ’ s ambitious plan to provide more quality new homes . It will deliver a range of housing - from one- and twobedroom contemporary apartments to three-bedroom houses - over the next two and a half years .
In total , Hatfield Rise will deliver 146 quality new homes ( 37 affordable ), 18 retail units , and a new green space at the heart of the development .
Lovell is building 72 homes , in the first phase , which will include 37 affordable homes . There will be 24 two-bedroom apartments and 11 homes for private sale . 12 retail units will also be constructed . Each apartment has a number of standout features including full height glazing to show off the spectacular views of the surrounding area from all floors .
The first business opened for trading before Christmas at the Hatfield Rise development . Now , the first apartments are being snapped up following the opening of the show apartment in January .
One Town Centre While the town centre that we are familiar developed as part of the post-WWII New Town expansion , it is not the first ‘ new town ’ in this location . A Victorian new town , dating back to the 1850s , first stood here and further developments around the town centre occurred in the 1920s
