Watford Borough Council has granted planning consent for the first phase of its £1.6bn regeneration masterplan for Watford Junction.
The masterplan includes just under 3,000 homes, 807,000 sq ft of commercial space, 64,500 sq ft of shops, two primary schools and community facilities.
The 140,000 sq ft first phase on St Albans Road will be developed by GS8 and consist of a 146-flat, mixed-use development.
Nick Fenwick, deputy managing director of place shaping and corporate performance, Watford Borough Council, said: “This development marks the beginning of our Watford Junction masterplan and will set the tone for future regeneration work.
“We are committed to transforming Watford into a place where current residents and future generations can call home and where local businesses thrive.”
