Netherfield Lane, Stanstead Abbotts

Mission Statement

Webster Estates Ltd is the company running the property portfolio that has provided a local home to the lighting business founded by David Webster. The company continues to be run in accordance with the Webster family values of conservation and heritage as well as involvement with local projects.

  • Repurposing of the former David Webster Lighting site in Netherfield Lane for good quality housing, with a decent level of affordable housing whilst retaining some employment use on the site.
  • Working with the Baesh Charitable Trust to resolve parking issues for the existing Almshouses, and to provide land for the Trust to build further affordable accommodation.
  • Favouring a landscape-led development to provide plenty of green open spaces, additional trees and natural habitats.
  • Supporting Electrical Vehicle (EV) charging initiatives and encouraging the use of renewables and low carbon initiatives.
  • We are supporting the Parish Council (PC) with the submission of our site and land for release from the green belt so as to enable the PC to fulfil their requirement to deliver a workable Neighbourhood Plan which closed on 14 March 2025.
  • In agreement with the PC we have limited the number of residential homes to just 60 dwellings.
  • Addressing local concerns by designing a scheme that benefits the semi-rural nature of the site, and the edge of village location.
  • Working with parish and district councillors to address the flooding issues and antisocial behaviour of Netherfield Lane.
  • Providing a showcase development that leaves a positive legacy in the memory of David Webster.
