Catesby Estates Promotes Strategic Land In Stanstead St Margarets
Catesby Estates has been promoting land for residential development in Stanstead St Margarets through the Local Plan and Neighbourhood Plan process.
St Margaretsbury Place, located south of Station Road, Stanstead St Margarets, which has been identified as potentially suitable for release from the Green Belt to meet local housing need. The site can come forward either as a whole masterplan (with land north of St Margarets Road, Hoddesdon known as Rye Gate) or as two separate parcels.
Strategic land site within East Hertfordshire District
This well-located site has very good connectivity, as it benefits from easy access onto the A10 and A414 without travelling through the village. The site is also within close proximity to the train station, and within 800m of the local shops and facilities on Station Road.
The site is also located immediately adjacent to the Amwell View School and Specialist sports college, as well as sports facilities offered by St Margaretsbury Sports and Social Club to the east. Existing footpaths provide safe walking routes to St Andrews and Hailey Hall schools as well as shops and other facilities in the village.
We are proposing a rich and varied mixed development which features a range of significant community benefits alongside green housing, all of which will be designed with the future needs of the community in mind.
Stanstead St Margarets A Highly Desirable Place To Live
East Herts District is a desirable, but expensive place to live with many young first time buyers struggling to take their first steps on the housing ladder, and consequently having to relocate out of the village and move away from their families:
Average house price for first-time-buyers - £357,498 and the average household income needed to buy a home £79,500 (Hertfordshire Mercury).
This is compared to the UK average of £237,834 (Land Registry) meaning homes are 1.5 times more expensive than the UK average.
In 2019 there were 2,079 families on the housing register awaiting a home.
