September 2018 – Initial plans submitted for the development of Bishop’s Stortford South.

Countryside has submitted a Hybrid Planning Application to East Hertfordshire District Council for a new community on land south of the town lying to the west of London Road/Thorley Street and north of the St James’ Way bypass.

Countryside’s plans allow for a mix of uses on the site to support a sustainable community, and currently propose around 750 new homes including affordable housing, land for a secondary school, a primary school, a care home, a 4-5 hectare employment area, a neighbourhood centre, community facilities and areas of public open space.

Consultation on the emerging proposals took place from 12th December 2017 to the 2nd February 2018. We received 208 formal responses to the proposed plans and thank those who took part in the consultation.

The feedback received was carefully reviewed and helped to identify key priorities and considerations in the development of our final plans for submission. Find out more information here.
