During the last round of engagement, we shared the draft masterplan for the site which was built on the Vision and Development Principles which were defined in the initial stages of public consultation. The draft masterplan consultation on potential layout options allowed us to discuss locations and layouts of new homes, employment areas, opens spaces and community facilities.

Since our consultation with you, we have been continuing with the technical and survey work which will allow us to evolve further the Masterplan and explore in more detail how the site can be redeveloped. This process is ongoing and will inform coming rounds of consultation in 2022.

We would like to thank you for the feedback and interaction that we have received to date, and we will be in touch with details of future consultation events which will also be advertised on the website.

In the meantime, if you have any queries, please do get in touch with us directly via:

The three rounds of community and stakeholder engagement that we have held

so far on RAF Henlow have generated a significant amount of very considered and

very helpful feedback. This has enabled us to define a strong Vision and a set of clear

Development Principles for the redevelopment of the site.

It has also helped shape a Draft Masterplan for the site which addresses the Vision

and the Development Principles and starts to give a feel for where, on site, it might

be appropriate to locate particular elements of the mixed-use scheme that we have

been discussing with you.

We shared the Draft Masterplan with the local community and key stakeholders

back in March and April this year. This, and all of the other information that we have

shared with you is available on the Project Website.

When we met with you earlier this year, we said that we hoped to be in a position

to meet with you again before the school holidays began. However, this has not

been possible. We are continuing with the technical work that need to be completed

in order for us to be satisfied that the proposals for the site can be satisfactorily

accommodated. This work will enable us to evolve the masterplan into a more detailed

document that will give you a clearer picture of how the site could be redeveloped.

As soon as we are in a position to share more information, and a further version of

the masterplan with you, we will be in touch and will announce a fourth round of

community and stakeholder engagement. We are hoping that we will be able to

conduct some of that in face to face settings as opposed to entirely online. But we

will take a view on format nearer the time.

We would like to thank everyone who attended the Third Engagement Events. Over 65 people attended the sessions and provided feedback on our plans.

Thank you to those who attended our two previous rounds of engagement events which took place in October, November and December 2020.

We held our second public engagement events online using Zoom on 28th November, 30th November and the 1st December. A recording of the presentation given as part of these events is available to view here.

The presentation was a great opportunity to look at how your feedback is helping to shape our thinking about the future of the site.

We were delighted to share with you our 10 Emerging Development Principles for RAF Henlow, which will help shape the future Masterplan.

We will be holding additional public engagement events in the near future, please check the 'Latest news' tab for more information.
