We are committed to collaborating with local communities at East Hemel and our proposals will be shaped by a shared understanding of local needs.
We will be inclusive and engage different groups and communities to ensure that the development reflects the needs and wishes of the wider local population.
The video below was created at the 2-day collaborative community workshop in February 2025 where we asked attendees to talk through their experience of the workshop session and their views on the evolving proposals so far.
We want to hear your views
The third stage of community engagement took place in July 2025, where residents viewed the latest proposals, met with the project team and shared their feedback at a series of drop-in events and themed briefings.
