Bowmans Cross has been identified as the location for a sustainable new community to help meet future housing needs in the local area. The site is part of the Tyttenhanger Estate to the south of Colney Heath, and east of London Colney down to the M25.
The owners of the land, the Tyttenhanger Estate, appointed master developer Urban&Civic to lead the design, development and delivery of Bowmans Cross. Urban&Civic has been working with Hertsmere Borough Council, Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) and key stakeholders, including the community, to ensure the right plans are developed for this important site.
We want the community to continue to shape the plans. Check back soon or sign up to our mailing list to be notified of ways to get involved.

Work to date
In November 2021, Urban&Civic hosted a number of drop-in sessions across the local area and launched this website to share the emerging plans and get feedback. Thank you to everyone who took part, we have reviewed all the feedback in detail.
You can view the consultation material shared during 2021 here.
You can view the latest on Hertsmere’s Local Plan preparation here.
Urban&Civic will continue to hold events and engage the community to ensure:
- Local communities can help shape the proposals for Bowmans Cross.
- Local people have the information they need about the emerging plans to respond effectively to the ongoing Local Plan process.
- The design team can shape plans based on feedback: responding to local needs and developing a place, maximising the opportunities for investment in infrastructure, facilities and opportunities that benefit all.
