Neighbors concerned after a house at 90 Valley Walk was torn down without full permission. The owner now seeks retrospective approval after notice served.
Neighbors got worried last December. The old house was being torn down. But, permission was only granted for the garage. The garage was supposed to be rebuilt.
The council gave the owner a notice on January 15. They had 28 days to apply for permission. They needed to submit a formal plan.
The owner submitted documents. They said the house had problems. Construction revealed issues with the front. They talked with a building control officer.
They decided to rebuild the front for safety. It was necessary for structural integrity. The new house should be good quality. It should fit the area’s style. It should follow planning rules.
The owner spoke to the Watford Observer. They said they want to work with the council and apologized for the trouble caused. People can view the application online using reference number 25/0092/RSP to find it.
