Planning application

5 Watford Heath Watford WD19 4EU

Awaiting decision Watford 26/00496/FULH Full householder

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

The permission is for the renovation of the garden (new lawn, planting, pergola), in line with the plans submitted. This includes a new shed. It also includes the removal of the collapsing existing fence and installation of a new fence, aligning it to the legal boundary on land registry deed plans.

As published by the council, reference 26/00496/FULH
