Welcome to our St Margarets Way webpage where you'll find important updates and information about our new housing development in Leverstock Green.


St Margarets Way is an exciting new development of 46 new homes in Hemel Hempstead. A mix of 1 and 2 bedroom flats, with a private balcony alongside 2 and 3 bedroom houses with gardens. The homes provide spacious living alongside eco-conscious features, such as triple glazed windows, which work to keep the properties cool in the summer and warm in the winter. There are also landscaped gardens for everyone to enjoy plus bike stores and car parking areas with electric vehicle charge points. Close to Leverstock Green Primary School and local shops and amenities, this new development is the perfect mix of comfort and sustainability.




Progress update

We are delighted to take handover of 46 brand new council homes, providing much-needed, accommodation as part of our ongoing commitment to delivering affordable housing across the borough. This development includes a mix of houses and apartments designed to meet modern standards for comfort, energy efficiency, and sustainability. Tenancy sign-ups are now underway, and we’re thrilled to see the first residents already beginning to move in and make these new properties their homes. This handover also marks a major achievement for Dacorum Borough Council, as it includes the delivery of our 500th new council home, a huge milestone that reflects our long-term investment in the local community. We are incredibly proud of the hard work and collaboration that has brought us to this point.

There is a 12-month defects period for all the new homes and the outside areas around them, including car parks, landscaping, and street lighting. If you notice any problems or defects in these areas, please report them to Cardo on 0800 018 6050.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your enquiry. 

    At the moment, only DBC tenants can register to use the EV chargers at St Margarets Way. This may be why they do not show on the app you referenced. 

    To register for them, they would need to email: evcharging@dacorum.gov.uk.

    Hello. 

    Thank you for sharing your concerns. The development has been delivered in line with the approved planning consent, which included consideration of the location of disabled parking spaces in relation to the properties. 

    That said, we appreciate that individual needs can vary. If the occupants of the two disabled flats feel they would benefit from parking spaces closer to their homes, we would encourage them to contact the Aids & Adaptions Service who will be happy to discuss their requirements and explore possible solutions. 

    You can contact them by email at adaptations@dacorum.gov.uk or telephone on 01442 228000. 

    With regard to vehicles parking and obstructing pavements, we are actively monitoring the situation and are considering additional measures to prevent such parking in the area.

    How do you apply for one of the two bed houses if you are currently a tennant of Hightown in a flat?

    Shazza asked 4 months ago

    Thank you for getting in touch with us. You can apply for social and affordable housing by creating an application for our Social Housing Register on our website, 'Moving with Dacorum'. 

    If you were previously housed in your current flat through us, you will need to login and update your details including details about your current housing situation. If you are a private tenant of Hightown you will likely need to submit a new application on Moving with Dacorum. 

    You will need to meet certain criteria to be eligible to bid on properties when they become available but we can assess this for you once you have updated your details or created a new application. 

    If you need any further assistance with this, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

    Thank you for your enquiry. Please accept our apology for the delay in responding to you whilst we gathered the information we needed. 

    Helix, the contractor, are responsible for maintaining the landscaping during the first 12 months. We are aware that the recent dry weather has caused problems for some of the landscaping and we have been assured by Helix that they will have operatives at St Margarets Way to ensure everything is being watered regularly. If any planting has died, Helix will replace it before the end of the 12 month defects period at the most appropriate time, to ensure it is able to establish and thrive.

    If there are trip hazards, please let us know the details so we can get these fixed.  

    Our Housing Development team are consulting with colleagues across the Council to ensure that the location of the new play equipment is the most suitable for the age group that it is designed for.  Once we have all the approvals in place, we will let you know.  

    With development completing just over six weeks ago and some homes still awaiting their new tenants,  we have no set plans as yet, however will let everyone know if we decide to hold an event for the local community so everyone can get involved.

    CW asked 6 months ago

    Thanks for getting in touch. Sorry for the delay in replying — I’ve been checking with the relevant teams so I could give you an accurate update.

    We are currently reviewing the speed limit on the road, but for now, it remains at 30mph, which is standard for estate roads.

    If any traffic calming measures (like speed bumps or signs) are needed after the handover, the Estates team would usually handle that — but only if there's clear evidence that it’s necessary.

    If you'd like to contact them directly, here are their details:

    Email: es-estates@dacorum.gov.uk
    Phone: 01442 228000 (ask for the Estates team)

    Thank you for getting in touch. The Housing Development team are currently discussing alternative locations for the play space and are consulting with a range of people, including Community Safety and the local PCSO, to help determine the best option.  No decision has been made yet, but once we have one, we’ll make sure to update local residents through a newsletter.

    Hi. Thanks for your enquiry. Unfortunately, the new homes at St Margarets Way are for social rent only and would not be eligible for the first homes scheme.
