Located in the heart of Watford’s shopping district, last week’s planning submission for the scheme at 101 – 107 Watford High Street illustrates a fantastic example of sustainable High Street regeneration. CJCT’s design on behalf of Aspect Property Group and ACRE demonstrates how a vibrant, design-focused mixed-use development can revitalize a retail site in need of transformation and contribute to the town’s dynamic future.
The scheme incorporates 10,200 sqft of contemporary retail space and 59 homes in a design that respects the historic character of nearby St. Mary’s Conservation Area and builds on the opportunities arising from its setting nestled in the town’s retail core.
An elevated ‘secret’ courtyard provides a green oasis for residents and improves the site’s biodiversity and creates an appealing urban living environment in a highly sustainable location – underpinned by high environmental credentials and renewable energy features that will boast a significant CO2 emission reduction.
Working with hgh Consulting, CJCT and the team engaged in an intensive dialogue with Watford Council Planners and Historic England to craft a scheme that positively contributes to the future of the High Street.
