The site, previously occupied by a car dealership, is one of the first to come forward in an area outlined in Watford’s Local Plan for transformative change into a new residential quarter. Hence, this project acts as a benchmark for future development.

Tree planting, pavement widening and a new pocket park are introduced to improve the pedestrian environment on a junction previously dominated by cars. 193, largely dual aspect, high quality homes will be delivered in this highly sustainable location.

The scheme was submitted for planning in June 2022.
