Hatfield Land to Rent

Hatfield Innovation Campus offers a prime investment or leasing opportunity towards a hub for science and innovation in a Central Hertfordshire location at 5 Great North Road. This budding site for innovation and collaboration comprises 40 acres and is proposed to encompass a live-and-work community of up to 435,000 square feet of commercial workspace and 100 linked residential units (Class C3) to support those working at the site. In conjunction with Gascoyne Estates, Hatfield Innovation Campus is seeking appropriate physical infrastructure to enable businesses to support scaling R&D occupiers and attract and retain top-tier talent. The site allocation requires preparing an SPD that will smooth the remaining stages of the planning process. Hertfordshire is an established location for science and innovation in the Golden Triangle, with a wide range of companies having a presence in the area, from life sciences, biopharma, and agritech to clean tech, universities, and research organisations. Hatfield benefits from two major higher education institutions, creating the next generation of talent and strong economic potential. Additionally, the site is adjacent to Welham Green railway station in south Hatfield, only 25 minutes away from King's Cross Knowledge Quarter, and midway between London and Cambridge, placing the campus at an incredibly central locale. Economic growth, the clustering of knowledge-intensive employment, and excellent transport connectivity make Hatfield a focal point for new investment.
