Outstanding development opportunity with outline planning permission for up to five executive homes, set on a 1.35-acre (0.54 ha) level and well-bounded site. Ideally located in a sought-after semi-rural setting with excellent commuter links - just 21 minutes to London King's Cross.

Location

Todds Green is a small, semi-rural settlement located near Stevenage in Hertfordshire. The area offers a balance of countryside surroundings and convenient access to key transport routes, including the A1(M) and A602. It is well placed for commuters, with nearby Stevenage railway station providing regular services to London Kings Cross (approximately 21 minutes) and Cambridge (approximately 40 minutes).

Todd's Green maintains a quiet, village-style atmosphere with access to open green spaces and essential local amenities, offering a peaceful setting close to larger towns but surrounded by larger local towns such as Hitchin and Stevenage. Hitchen is a charming historic market town, and equally Stevenage is currently undergoing a £1 billion redevelopment project, set to reshape the town centre into a vibrant, mixed-use destination offering efficient access to London.

Detailed Description

The site comprises approximately 0.54 hectares (1.35 acres) of level grassland, currently in equestrian use. Natural boundaries of mature hedgerows and trees provide both privacy and an attractive rural setting.

With direct access from Chantry Lane, the land connects smoothly to the local and regional road network. Its regular shape, manageable size, and limited physical constraints create an excellent opportunity for residential development.

Planning Background

The property lies within the jurisdiction of Stevenage Borough Council, as set out in the Stevenage Local Plan (2011-2031).
Outline planning consent was granted on 9 September 2024 (Ref: 24/00196/OP) for up to five high-quality dwellings. Importantly, there are no affordable housing or Biodiversity Net Gain requirements, ensuring a straightforward planning pathway.
The consent has been structured to provide design flexibility, enabling developers to finalise layouts, scale and style at Reserved Matters stage. This freedom means homes can be tailored to either traditional family living or more contemporary designs, depending on market.
