About

Bishop's Stortford North sits immediately north of Bishop's Stortford town centre in East Hertfordshire on largely arable land framed by hedgerows and small copses. The area is the strategic allocation in the local plan for growth, bounded by existing suburban edges to the south and the A120 corridor to the north; a network of public footpaths and local lanes crosses the site and links to the town. The land generally slopes northwards, so routes and fields give clear intervisibility across neighbouring farmland and the suburban fringe rather than enclosed woodland or industrial plots.

Planning and outline proposals for Bishop's Stortford North set out new housing alongside a primary school, a local centre, sports pitches and green infrastructure, together with a distributor road to improve access onto the A120. Designs have aimed to work with existing field boundaries and drainage patterns, keeping continuous green corridors and allotments in the scheme while locating community facilities near the southern edge so they connect with the town’s current neighbourhoods.
