Site Description

The site in Hemel Hempstead is situated at the point where Dacorum Way meets the Marlowes and used to host the original Dacorum Civic Centre. 

It is 10 minutes by bus to Hemel Hempstead railway station and walking distance to surrounding residential areas and town centre amenities.

The rectangular 0.78 hectares site slopes down from the Marlowes to the east to the River Gade to the west, where the site widens out. It is surrounded by predominantly new buildings including the Forum, the Gade and Foundry residential developments and West Herts College. The new buildings vary from four to seven storeys. On the other side of the Marlowes there is a series of listed buildings, including the Carey Baptist Church, that forms the original Marlowes. The Old Town conservation area is a short walk from the site.

The Civic Zone site offers a significant opportunity to contribute to the council’s aspirations for the regeneration of the town centre by achieving aims set out in planning policies for the Gade Zone.
