Application progress
This application is under consideration - no decision has been issued yet. Plota predicted a decision around 4 Oct 2026; it is now day 214. The consultation period closed on 27 Mar 2026.
Planning committee
Decided by Watford Development Management Committee on 12 May 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Approved unanimously
- Officers advised approval because the annexe would remain ancillary, preserve living conditions and avoid harm to neighbours or the area.
- Five objections raised concerns about privacy, dominance, parking, the boundary and possible business or independent residential use.
- The committee approved the application subject to the listed conditions and unilateral undertaking.
