Community Update - East Hemel Archaeological Trenching Works

Ahead of the submission of an Outline Planning Application in Autumn 2025, some archaeological trenching works will be undertaken across the site to establish whether there is any evidence of archaeological finds of significance.

Trenching works are due to start mobilising on site on 18th August in the Woodend Farm area working down to the south of the East Hemel site and will take place over a period of approximately 8 weeks. This will include the use of diggers which you may notice moving around the site.

The works will take place on weekdays and will be completed between the hours of 8am-5pm. We ask that residents do not access the fields whilst this work is being undertaken.

If you have any questions or concerns about the trenching works, please email Hemel.Enquiries@thecrownestate.co.uk
