A plan to turn a mobile home and storage site that suffered fire damage into a block of flats is being considered.
Under the proposal, submitted on April 18, a two-storey building containing five flats would be built on land near Lingmoor Drive and Loweswater Close, in Garston, Watford.
The land was previously used to store travelling showmen’s equipment and caravans, dating back to 1975.

A design and access statement submitted alongside the plan said: “In its current state, the site has a significant adverse impact on the physical and visual character of the area.”
The document contains images of a mobile home that was destroyed in a fire, loose bags of storage, and a storage container.
It claims that the new development would be more in keeping with other nearby buildings, as it is in a residential area.
If approved, there would be three one-bedroom flats and two two-bedrooms. Parking spaces are also included in the plan.
