Latest pictures show progress on 485 homes in Ascot Road

Building work in Ascot Road is well underway. Credit: Lynda Bullock/Watford Observer Camera Club New images have shown the progress made in one of Watford’s biggest and most transformative housing developments. In 2017, planning permission was granted to build 485 homes in Ascot Road, including a “gateway” 24 storey 81 metre tall tower. At the time, it was the tallest ever building to be given approval in the town, and despite hundreds of objections from the public, Watford Borough Council passed the scheme. Nearly four years on and building work in the west of the town is well underway despite the plug being pulled on the Met Line Extension.

Was support of development in Watford politically orchestrated?

Covid-19 has made us all realise that family, friends, communities and outside space are vital to our mental health and overall well-being. The Grenfell Tower fire in June 2017 and tower blocks of the 1960s taught us that high-rise living can be hazardous and unhealthy. The former, but not the latter, came too late to save hundreds from the isolation and potential dangers of high-rise living in Watford. The new development at Ascot Road (ex Post Office sorting office), will be blighted by blocks of flats in close proximity to each other, which even at this early stage of development, dwarf the tiny Ascot Road Community Free School nearby.
