Summary - Land At, Hazel Road, How Wood, St Albans, AL2 AL2 2AH
1 bed 1 bath Residential Development
Rare 2.2-acre brownfield site on St Albans edge — development subject to planning.
Approximately 2.2-acre brownfield site, substantial developable plot
A rare city-edge development parcel of approximately 2.2 acres on Hazel Road, How Wood, offering a substantial brownfield opportunity for a private residential scheme (subject to planning). The site sits in a wooded, private setting with existing single-storey buildings previously used for education (Use Class F1) and benefits from freehold ownership and no identified flood risk.
This location combines tranquillity with strong connectivity: St Albans city centre is about 3.7 miles away, Watford c.6.8 miles and central London c.23.1 miles. Motorway access is convenient via J21A of the M25 (2.3 miles) and J6 of the M1 (2.0 miles). Local services include good schools (several rated Good to Outstanding), leisure amenities and fast broadband and mobile signals — attributes attractive to future residents.
The site’s strengths are its size, setting and brownfield status, which can support a thoughtfully designed residential scheme with private garden/landscaping and retained woodland character. However, this is a planning-led opportunity: change of use and detailed consent will be required. Expect site surveys, potential remediation, arboricultural/ecology assessments and possible demolition or substantial refurbishment of existing structures.
Suited to developers, investors and private builders, the plot offers clear development upside in a very affluent, low-crime suburb. Proceeding purchasers should budget for professional fees, surveys and planning risk — these are standard but material considerations for unlocking the site’s residential potential.
