Three houses planned for Stratford Road site in Watford

Last year, plans to build a block of eight flats at the junction of Stratford Road and Langley Road were turned down.

Watford Borough Council felt it was an “overdevelopment”, failed to “enhance” the quality or character of the area, “harm” neighbouring Nascot Conservation Area, and provide some “inadequate living conditions”.

Nascot councillor Tom Osborn said locals were “deeply opposed” to the proposal.

Officers will now consider a new application which appears to have been put forward by a new developer and planning agent.

Applicant Nascot Developers Ltd proposes to demolish the existing 1930s two storey house and replace it with a terrace of three houses of two-and-a-half storeys.

Two would have three bedrooms with one of four bedrooms. Each home would come with its own front and back garden and share a communal parking area for three spaces, accessed from Langley Road.

During pre-application talks, planning documents state although the council supports the “principle” of development on this site, it would be unlikely to approve a scheme for four homes.

The plans that have been submitted are a result of the council’s feedback.

The application can be viewed on the planning portal via reference 22/01252/FUL.
