Park Plaza North
The Council’s Planning and Licensing Committee approved the
Park Plaza North development brief in
July 2010. It sets out the vision for the site. The site will
provide quality employment opportunities to the local community and
will be an integral element of the wider renaissance of Waltham
Cross. A comprehensively planned scheme is sought which would
include a mix of business, high technology industries, research and
development, supported by uses such as a hotel.
Park Plaza North provides one of the best locations in North
London and Hertfordshire for the creation of a serviced business
park for multiple small and medium sized businesses or a smaller
number of major businesses. The opportunity to create company
headquarter(s) or national/regional offices in high technology and
class leading industries with excellent access to London and the
south east will dictate proposals for the development. The site is
particularly suited to the Hertfordshire priorities of research and
development, digital, creative and media, high technology
manufacturing and health care.
There is a shortage of hotels within the Borough. The Council
would therefore welcome additional hotel accommodation at Park
Plaza North. The design would need to be of high quality and be
compatible with the development of the remainder of the site. The
hotel(s) could include restaurant, conference and leisure uses so
long as these are not free standing, are ancillary to the main use
of the site and provide facilities which complement and support the
wider development.
