Engagement

We are committed to collaborating with local communities at East Hemel and any future proposals will be shaped by a shared understanding of local needs.  The Crown Estate’s land and the wider HGC area has the potential to deliver high quality new homes, new schools, health and community facilities, along with new workspaces and associated job opportunities, as well as extensive new areas of green spaces that support health and wellbeing and the natural environment.    

Through all of our activities, we are committed to long-term stewardship, and 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.  We look forward to working with you all to create a place that can thrive, both now and in the future.  

 We will be updating this page with more information on forthcoming engagement, public events and how people can get involved.  

October 2024 – Stage 1 engagement

As part of the first stage of public engagement, we’re holding drop-in events for the local community across five different locations. At these events we will be introducing ourselves and looking to understand more about life in the area, as well as the hopes, ideas and ambitions of the local community for East Hemel.

  • Commonplace is an interactive online citizen engagement platform which uses maps and other tools to enable the local community to submit comments on emerging proposals.  All feedback received as part of the engagement will be reviewed and considered to help shape our emerging proposals.    

  • We will be using the Commonplace platform for all our public engagement activities.
