Council approves Watford ground plan

Watford’s proposal to redevelop their Vicarage Road ground, providing low-cost housing as part of a £32.5m (€48m) scheme, has been granted planning permission by the local council.

Watford Leisure plc have announced the plans have been approved by Watford Borough Council, allowing the club and housing association Origin Group to start work on the first phase of the scheme in early summer.
