A new consultation date has been confirmed to allow Welwyn Garden City residents to view plans for the Wheat Quarter.

From 10am to 2pm, on Saturday, October 26, a consultation will take place at the Wheat Quarter site office in Hyde Way, ahead of an application being submitted in December.

Planning permission was previously granted in 2019 by Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, with a view to enabling the long-awaited regeneration of the former Shredded Wheat Factory site.

But, no progress was made on the site, and specialist property developers, IJM Land, acquired the Wheat Quarter site in December 2023.

IJM has now developed a masterplan for the site, which includes 140 houses, 300 flats and the iconic silos being turned into a sky bar and restaurant.

"This site has suffered unnecessary years of uncertainty and non-delivery," said a spokesman for the developer.

"We want to get on deliver a scheme well related to Welwyn Garden City and its needs and trust our proposals meet with the approval of the local community."
