Pair have already built 300 homes at Bishop’s Stortford site
A £200m plan by Network Rail to turn an area around Bishop’s Stortford station in Hertfordshire into new homes and commercial space has been approved by the local council.
The network operator has teamed up with Kier’s property arm to turn the area around the Goods Yard into more than 400 homes.
Called Solum Regeneration, the pair have already built more than 300 homes a multi-storey car park after East Herts district council gave the original scheme the green light in 2018.
The latest proposals follow a masterplan that was endorsed by the council three years ago with these including 423 homes, improved pedestrian links from the station to the town centre and upgrades to the station forecourt. Architect on the scheme is Pollard Thomas Edwards.
Solum Regeneration is a joint venture between Network Rail and Kier Property which has been set up to bring private investment into the rail network by generating funds from the development of under-used railway land.
