Site Description

The Former New Barnfield Centre offers an exceptional opportunity to deliver a high‑quality industrial and logistics scheme in one of Hertfordshire’s most strategically connected locations. The 14‑acre site, comprising approximately 7 acres of previously developed land within the Green Belt has received a positive pre‑application response from Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, confirming their intention to allocate the land for employment use in the emerging Local Plan. This gives investors a clear and encouraging planning pathway.

With capacity for over 120,000 sq ft of modern industrial and logistics space, the site is ideally positioned to meet strong occupier demand for sustainable, Grade-A accommodation. The sector continues to outperform other commercial asset classes, driven by supply shortages, evolving supply-chain requirements, and the growth of e-commerce and last-mile delivery. 

Welham Green benefits from excellent connectivity, with immediate access to the A1(M) and fast routes into London, Hatfield, and surrounding towns making it a compelling location for regional and national operators. 

An investment of c. £40 million would enable the acquisition, planning promotion, and delivery of a best-in-class, ESG-led scheme that enhances local employment, revitalises underutilised land, and brings forward a future-proofed industrial estate in a high-performing market.
