Cityheart has been appointed as East Herts District Council’s Preferred Development Partner for the redevelopment of ‘The Old River Lane’, a 5.2-acre site in the centre of Bishop’s Stortford. This £80 million mixed-use scheme forms an integral part of the Council’s wider transformation vision to capitalise on Bishop Stortford’s attractive town centre and growing population.
The masterplan for the Old River site is set to deliver over 130 residential dwellings, offices, retail space and an arts centre comprising a 5-screen cinema and events space, surrounded by attractive public realm and a new public square.
Cityheart and its professional team are now working with the Council in the detailed design stage for the project.

Council leader Linda Haysey said: “We are delighted that we’re now in a position to progress our vision and that we can move forward with the next stage of this project to transform and revitalise this part of town.
Everyone in the town and further afield can look forward to quality arts of all kinds in a superb space, while the multi-storey car park will contribute towards supporting the local economy and the ambitions of the town. The new public square will be a space to be enjoyed by the town’s residents and visitors.”
