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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Renting Commercial Land in Welwyn Garden City

Learn More
What is commercial land?
Commercial land refers to plots of land designated for business use. It may be used for open storage, parking, development, or industrial operations, depending on the planning permission and site infrastructure.
What types of commercial land are available to rent in Welwyn Garden City?
You can find a range of commercial land including hardstanding yards, fenced compounds, development-ready sites, and land with temporary structures or utilities already installed.
What planning permission do I need to use commercial land?
Use depends on planning permission granted by the local council. Common classes include B2 (general industrial), B8 (storage/distribution), or sui generis (e.g. vehicle storage). Always check the permitted use before signing a lease.
Can I build on rented commercial land?
In most cases, permanent construction on leased land requires both landlord consent and planning permission. Some leases allow for temporary buildings, containers, or modular units depending on the site's terms.
What are typical uses for commercial land?
Typical uses include vehicle or plant storage, builder’s yards, scaffolding storage, logistics operations, event space, or development projects (subject to planning).
How is commercial land usually let?
Commercial land is typically let on leasehold terms, often for 1 to 10 years. Short-term lets, licences, and flexible arrangements may also be available for temporary or seasonal use.
Is the land usually serviced?
Some commercial land comes fully or partially serviced, with utilities such as water, electricity, and drainage. Others may be unserviced and more suitable for open storage or vehicle parking.
Are business rates payable on commercial land?
Yes, in most cases. If the land is rated for business use, you may be liable for business rates. The amount will depend on the site's rateable value, which you can check with the Valuation Office Agency (VOA).
What should I check before renting commercial land?
Review access and road links, ground condition (e.g. hardstanding or soft), drainage, fencing/security, planning class, services available, lease restrictions, and whether the site floods or is contaminated.
How do I find commercial land to rent in Welwyn Garden City?
Search on LoopNet, look for listings that match your intended use, and always confirm the planning permission and terms with the agent or landlord.
