Site Description

Watford Junction is a 19-hectare collection of development sites located adjacent to Watford town centre, within the M25 and approximately 20 minutes by rail from central London (London Euston). The site centres on Watford Junction station, one of the region’s busiest and best-connected transport hubs.

Watford is a high-performing regional centre with sustained housing demand. The station and surrounding land are in full public sector ownership and have the potential to deliver significant regeneration across a mix of uses including new homes and commercial space to support new jobs, alongside station improvements. Berkeley Homes is currently on site delivering a 1,214-home, 28-storey residential scheme that includes a new school. 

The site represents a significant regeneration opportunity mostly on under-used railway land within the London commuter belt and with comprehensive planning policy support in place.
