Plans to build nearly 200 flats on the site of a car showroom in Watford look set to be turned down.
Members of Watford Borough Council's planning committee are being recommended to reject the scheme to redevelop the Glyn Hopkin site in Lower High Street.
London Square says it wants to turn the busy commercial location into a “thriving” residential community.But it faces a battle to secure permission after a council officer put forward a host of reasons for refusal. Concerns have also been raised about the layout of the homes with relation to privacy, daylight, lighting and noise for prospective residents.There would be an “unacceptable” loss of daylight, sunlight, and privacy to properties in Lower High Street and Local Board Road while the development would cause an “increased risk” of flooding in Lower High Street.
