An impression of the next residential phase at Watford Riverwell.

Kier Property, the property division of Kier Group has announced that it has achieved planning consent for its next residential phase at Watford Riverwell.

The planning meeting took place on 1 April 2020 and due to the Coronavirus pandemic was undertaken as Watford Borough Council’s first virtual planning committee.

The scheme will deliver 192 new high-quality homes consisting of 142 much-needed family houses of mixed types including two, three and four-bed houses as well as three-bed maisonettes.

The scheme also includes 50, one and two-bed apartments set above a new community centre to serve Riverwell and the surrounding area.

 

NHS

The apartments and maisonettes are situated to disguise the proposed new 1,450-space multi-story car park to serve Watford General Hospital, which received consent last year.

 

 “We are pleased that the next stage of the Watford Riverwell scheme has secured planning consent. This means we can make arrangements at the right time to make a start on the ground works, ahead of starting to build the new family homes early next year thereby continuing the development of the Riverwell Masterplan.”

– Andrew Storey 

MD, Kier Property
