Woollam Park, North St Albans

UPDATE:

Outline planning application submitted – March 2025

Hallam Land, in partnership with the landowner, St Albans School, has now submitted an outline planning application to St Albans City & District Council for the development of the Woollam Park site. Woollam Park will be an exemplar new neighbourhood in North St Albans and has been allocated in the emerging St Albans Local Plan which has now been submitted for examination.  The reference number for the application is 5/2024/2271 and the application can be viewed on the Council’s planning page: https://planningapplications.stalbans.gov.uk/planning

Woollam Park will include:

• 1,000 family-sized homes, including affordable housing 
• Dedicated housing for older residents
• A local centre with a community building, shops and a childrens nursery
• A new two form entry primary school 
• Connected green open spaces centred around a new common
• New pedestrian and cycling infrastructure routes into St Albans City centre
• A new bridleway linking to the Hertfordshire Way and Heartwood Forest 

Prior to submitting the planning application, the Woollam Park project team conducted a comprehensive public consultation with elected representatives, local groups and the general public. We will continue to closely engage with the local community throughout the planning application process.

The planning application is available for public viewing on the Council’s website. However, to make it easier for you, we have included some of the key documentation directly on this site
