Call for sites
As part of the Watford Local Plan review process the Council are seeking to identify sites that are available, suitable and deliverable for development. Alongside the consultation on the scope of the Plan which can be viewed online, we are asking stakeholders to submit any sites that they think should be allocated for development in the Plan.
This does not just apply to sites for residential development but any sites for the following uses:
- Housing of all kinds
- Employment
- Mixed use
- Gypsy and Travellers
- Renewable Energy
- Biodiversity offsetting
- Blue/Green infrastructure
- Leisure and Tourism
How to submit responses
Submissions must be made using our online portal that will collect the proposed site boundary as well as other supporting information that will enable to the Council to make an assessment of the site.
The online portal can be accessed online
Submissions must be made by 23 December 2026 at 17:00.
