Description:

Bowmans Cross, a new neighborhood for Hertsmere, is designed with sustainability at its heart. The masterplan envisions up to 5,000 new homes, including affordable options, with a focus on integrating residents with nature. This involves restoring the landscape, creating new parkland, and enhancing biodiversity. Over 170 hectares of open space are planned, including 120 hectares of natural and semi-natural green space, 40 hectares of parks, and 12 hectares for outdoor sports. The development emphasizes community well-being with new local centers, up to three primary schools, and a secondary school. Public transport will connect Bowmans Cross to Potters Bar Station, with improved bus services and new cycle routes enhancing active travel. This project aims for an environmentally conscious place, working towards net-zero carbon emissions and using sustainable construction materials. Ongoing community consultation is a key part of the process, ensuring local needs are met.
