Site Description

Water Garden Car Park is a council owned and operated two storey car park between Leighton Buzzard Road and the River Gade, Hemel Hempstead.

Access to the Water Gardens Car Park North is from Combe Street and Leighton Buzzard Road, with exits on Bridge Street and Leighton Buzzard Road. The site occupies a central location within the town centre, halfway between the Old Town to the north and the primary retail area to the south. It is 10 minutes by bus to Hemel Hempstead railway station and walking distance to surrounding residential areas and town centre amenities.

It is close to Dacorum Borough Council Offices, Hemel Hempstead Hospital and Hemel Hempstead Police Station, located in an area with a predominantly civic focus.

A parking strategy or plan for the whole town centre would be interdependent to this site coming forward.

The size of the Water Gardens Car Park North is approximately 110ft x 670ft with an area of approximately 23,400 sq. ft.

Dacorum Borough Council is in the process of commissioning a Master Plan for Hemel Hempstead Town Centre, which will be the subject of public consultation. Any proposals for the Town Centre Car Park sites, including the Water Gardens site, will be considered as part of the development of a wider Master Plan for Hemel Hempstead town centre. Proposals will also need to consider the parking requirements that will inform the business case for the proposed Hemel Health Campus on Market Square. The Dacorum Investment Partnership will support this work by carrying out initial feasibility work on the Water Gardens Car Park.
