Site Description

A site of approximately 39.5 acres situated between the railway line, connecting London to Cambridge, and the A505, is being brought forward for employment development within a wider strategic development opportunity (Growing Baldock).

Growing Baldock is a scheme immediately surrounding the north, east and south of Baldock, delivering up to 3,000 new homes, two new primary schools, five form entry of secondary school capacity, a local centre with community uses, and around 39.5 acres of employment uses. 

Outline planning consent is targeted for autumn 2026, with delivery from 2028 (negotiations on individual plots delivery could bring forward timescales). The overall scheme is currently being taken through the outline planning application process, and Urban&Civic is welcoming expressions of interest to discuss delivery of employment uses, from shared office workspaces to research and development facilities, through to low-level industrial uses.
