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 and 1930s . Welwyn Hatfield commissioned a Heritage and Townscape assessment which ensured that the designs developed for One Town Centre are contemporary but contextual , to reflect the best of old and new in Hatfield ’ s built heritage .
A key gateway to the town , the One Town Centre plans will breathe new life into this part of Hatfield , which is well connected by road , cycle paths and pedestrian routes to the business park and train station .
The One Town Centre development will provide commercial units on the ground floor and 71 homes . The landscaped spaces between buildings form a new public space , which connects to the wider look and feel for Hatfield ’ s public spaces , including the improvements to White Lion Square .
