Site Description
Coopers Green has long been one of the borough’s preferred locations to meet housing need. Through balancing the need to preserve the countryside, and meet the demand for new homes, the site seeks to enhance and support the existing Hatfield Garden Village.
The preliminary masterplan is designed around the existing traces on the ground, marks left by preceding centuries of human and natural activity. Following an intensive charrette held in 2016 which brought together several hundred members of the local communities, the design team strengthened the masterplan’s boundary and buffer treatments.
In addition to the 2,000 new homes, the site will also deliver 150,000 sq. ft. of much needed high quality employment space. Coopers Green will see the development of primary and secondary schools, with enhanced leisure facilities, community and civic buildings, new roads, landscaping and open space – whilst bringing in the critical mass required to support local shops, cafés or restaurants.
As keen advocates of Legacy Development principles, all housing is designed to be built in accordance with Gascoyne’s Building Code for Hatfield.
