Major development-promotion opportunity with 8 acres in Hemel Garden Growth Area.
11.36 ha (28.08 acres) across two field parcels
A substantial 11.36 ha (28.08 acre) opportunity on Gaddesden Lane, Redbourn, offered for Promotion or Option Agreement. Approximately 8 acres lie within the Hemel Garden Communities Growth Area and are recognised in the Pre-Submission Dacorum Local Plan to 2041, giving a clear route for promotable development value. The remaining land could be proposed for alternative uses (for example SANG or BNG) but any change is subject to local authority discretion.
This tendered opportunity is aimed at promoters, developers or investors able to progress a planning strategy under a Promotion/Option Agreement. The land is split across two field parcels, largely open and agricultural with good road access and excellent mobile and broadband coverage — practical for site investigation and promotion work. The promotion/option model on offer contemplates an initial term (proposed up to five years with potential two five-year extensions), with negotiable promotion fees, discount-to-market proposals and an overage provision on land outside the developable area.
Important constraints and risks are straightforward: there is no current planning consent, final development boundaries will be at Dacorum Borough Council’s discretion, and the vendor reserves the right not to accept the highest or any offer. The site images show electricity pylons crossing part of the land; tenure is stated as unknown and will require buyer due diligence. Buyers must submit best and final offers by the informal tender deadline of 17:00 on 3 April 2025 if they wish to be considered.
For investors comfortable with promotion or option arrangements, this plot offers scale and clear policy interest for a significant portion of the site. For those requiring immediate consent or clear developable area, the absence of planning permission and local-authority discretion means further technical work and clear engagement with the council will be required.
