Welwyn Hatfield

Protected Status for Garden Cities

Giving Welwyn Garden City (and Letchworth Garden City) protected status to prevent building up the immediate area and to preserve their distinct character and aesthetic. Development in the area must not go beyond a certain height and buildings must remain spaced out for there to still be plenty of public garden.

Further developments can be satisfied, NOT by building up existing garden cities, but by building new garden cities elsewhere in Hertfordshire. We must preserve the principles of Ebenezer Howard or decrease its value as a place to live.
