Dacorum Borough Council commissioned Feria Urbanism to prepare a strategic framework for the Two Waters area, south of Hemel Hempstead town centre. The framework was shaped by extensive consultation and intended to guide and coordinate future development proposals.

Covering approximately 124 hectares on the southern edge of the town, Two Waters includes a diverse mix of residential, light industrial, retail and community uses, alongside significant recreational spaces at its heart.

The area faces increasing development pressure and the risk of ad hoc, piecemeal proposals that fail to connect or make the most of its distinctive rural–urban character. In response, the council commissioned Feria Urbanism to establish a clear planning and design framework to ensure that future change is coordinated and sensitive.
