  • Character of Area Study
    Watford Character of Area Study Adopted December 2011 0B1.0 Introduction The Borough of Watford is a well established urban centre in West Hertfordshire that contains a diverse patchwork of areas reflecting different types of built form. These character areas provide the spatial framework for local neighbourhoods and reflect the multifunctional nature of the town as a location for employment, leisure, study and residential provision. Although these areas provide a network of urban form, rich in “place identity”, they remain at risk of degradation from the pressures of new development. There is therefore a need to identify the Borough’s existing character areas and to provide a reference for guiding contextually responsive development that reinforces local character. 2.0 Urban Conservation Strategy 2.1 The need for a comprehensive study identifying character areas within the Borough was set out in the Council’s Urban Conservation Strategy, as detailed in the Watford District Plan 2000 (adopted 2003). The Urban Conservation Strategy sets out to deliver a package of different documents covering the various heritage assets within the town, including: conservation areas, Statutory Listed Buildings, Locally Listed Buildings and archaeology. The Character of the Area Study provides an overarching resource on urban form for the whole Borough and not just areas or buildings that are designated as heritage assets and referred to in the District Plan and the Urban Conservation Strategy. 2.2 The Watford District Plan 2000 and the related Supplementary Planning Guidance Note 28 (adopted 2003) includes information on Historic Environment Character Zones in Watford. This map based resource provides general information on the historical character zones that exist within the Borough and their archaeological potential.

  • The Grove Coverage Book
    RECLAIM MAGAZINE HERITAGE HOME House with History THE GROVE Nestled in Hertfordshire, just a short journey from London, this former party manor for royalty and aristocracy has been returned to its glory days WORDS BELINDA WANIS he turn-off for Te Grove is quite auspicious. But as you wend your way through the golf course and over the bridge nothing prepares you for the commanding Georgian manor that comes into view sitting atop the hill. Set in 300 acres of rolling Hertfordshire countryside, this former home of the Villiers family – the Earls of Clarendon – has a rich history dating back to at least the 1500s, though there is archaeological evidence on the grounds of Bronze Age pottery. Attracting T the aristocracy and artists alike, painter George Stubbs regularly graced its grounds, inspired to create his famous equine portraits. Towering over the terrace today is a beautiful black walnut tree, one of the first to be brought to Britain and presented to the Earl of Clarendon as a sapling in the 1770s by the great explorer Captain James Cook. When the fifth Earl became secretary and aide to Queen Victoria in 1846, he decided to throw lavish house parties for the Queen and British gentry who would travel up from London for the weekend parties – a new phenomenon which Te Times described as ‘weekending’. However, just before the Great Depression, Te Grove suffered a downturn as the Villiers family was forced to sell up to reduce the burden of estate tax. Te mansion was used variously as a college of nutrition, riding and boarding schools, before it was requisitioned as the secret headquarters for the railways during World War II.

  • Cassiobury Residents Association
    Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 1 of 1 Watford District Personal Details: Name: Paul Embleton E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Cassiobury Residents' Association Comment text: The Association was formed in 1962 mainly to safeguard and promote the amenities enjoyed by residents of the estate; it is the inheritor of the covenants attached to properties on the estate; and it also funds the Neighbourhood Watch scheme for the entire estate. It acts on matters of common interest in order to preserve the character and attractiveness of the estate, and address matters of common concern. The Cassiobury Estate is a residential area north and nw- wards from the nw boundary of Cassiobury Park up to and including the SW side of Hempstead Road of c.1355 houses with a membership of c.90% of the total. The Association's general feeling is that the current level of representation, i.e. with twelve wards each of three councillors to make a total of 36 cllrs for the Council. is adequate, appropriate and suitable. Moreover, any reduction in the total would create a situation of an unequal workload and onerous burden to fall on the remainder of Cllrs. bearing in mind the Cllrs' duties, responsibilities and adequate and proper representation of the electorate. Regarding ward boundaries, the Association feels the vast majority, as previously tweaked in 1998 and bearing in mind increases since then in development and population density, generally currently represent cohesive areas with strong senses of place and character. Whilst within the Council a forum existed up until 2002 for all the Residents' and Tenants' Associations within the Borough to meet together three or four times a year to discuss matters of common interest, with its disbandment the exchange of views between disparate areas of density and character is somewhat curtailed.
