HO3.1: Housing Provision

To meet housing need, at least 13,328 net additional homes, equivalent to at least 784 new homes per year, will be delivered, in Watford between 2021 and 2038. Proposals for residential development will be supported where they contribute positively towards meeting local housing needs and achieving sustainable development.

Residential developments should demonstrate how they will make an optimal use of land and provide a mix of homes including size, tenure and specialist adaptations to support people with different needs to ensure good quality homes are provided for all, both now and in the future.

Site allocations for housing and mixed-use, where residential use would be supported, are defined on the Policies Map.
