New plans seek to knock down a “substandard” Cassiobury Estate bungalow to make way for a bigger home.
Developers looked at upgrading the existing building in Woodland Drive, Watford, but it “became apparent” that deficient foundations and substandard insulation left demolition the most viable option, according to planning documents.
The planning application, submitted to the borough council yesterday (May 28), therefore proposes that a four-bedroom house with two main floors and an additional one within the roof should be built at the site.

The existing bungalow is apparently "deficient" due to being built in the 1950s.
If approved, the much larger replacement property will include a study, lounge, utility room, kitchen/dining room, family room, laundry room, hall, cinema/crafts room, and a reading/games room as well as the four bedrooms.
It would provide two off-street parking spaces at the front, while retaining some of the front garden.
The planning application is currently pending council consideration.
