Hemel Hempstead Town Centre presents several significant areas of change which can unprecedentedly transform its landscape. The opportunity is for the town centre to become a leisure and cultural hub providing access to nature, well connected with the station, Apsley, Maylands and the other neighbourhood centres around Hemel Hempstead.

The area will need to respond to the changing context through the intensification of developments and activities, delivering buildings and spaces which are attractive and safe for people to work, live, visit and socialise in the area.
