Work has begun on a new scheme in Wilstone village, which will provide six two-bedroom and three-bedroom houses, including a fully compliant wheelchair house, all for social rent.
The homes are on underused Council-owned land and are designed to complement the surrounding properties. They will be energy efficient and feature photovoltaic panels, electric air source heat pump heating/hot water and increased insulation to the fabric above the current building regulation requirements. Each home will have an electric vehicle wall charger and a private parking bay. There will also be plenty of visitor bays within the development.

Work began on site in the summer 2022 and is progressing on Blocks A and B. The properties are scheduled for completion in 2024.
Paradise Depot
We’re working on plans to redevelop the Paradise Depot site, located on the Paradise Industrial Estate in Hemel Hempstead. It is proposed that the site - which currently contains a food bank, depot and offices run by the local homeless charity DENS - will be redeveloped to accommodate 56 apartments, with a mix of one and two-bed homes and a new centre for DENS. Planning permission was granted in January 2023.
