Planning permission approved for Phase 3 at John Barker Place

We’re delighted that final planning permission has been approved for Phase 3 of the development at John Barker Place in Westmill, Hitchin.
The development of 48 new affordable homes will be a mixture of social rent and shared ownership homes on the site of Freemans Close.
We will keep local residents updated on the programme and when we hope to progress.
Continued investment in John Barker Place
We recently marked the completion of Phase 2 of the regeneration of John Barker Place, which includes 46 new homes – 24 for social rent and 22 for shared ownership. This development follows the successful delivery of the Westmill Community Centre in 2016 and the Swinburne playground in 2019.
Kingfisher House, which was Phase 1 of the development was completed in 2022 and includes 37 homes and two commercial units.
