PLANNING SUCCESS |
Quatro’s planning team is celebrating two major successes.
The £1 billion Watford Health Campus masterplan
was given the go-ahead by Watford Borough Council’s
Development Control Committee on 15 May. The committee
voted “resolve to grant” the necessary permissions,
pending completion of the negotiation of a suitable Section
106 agreement.
The Health Campus, one of Watford’s largest ever
planning applications, will regenerate a 26.5 hectare
site in West Watford providing a new state-of-the-art
major acute hospital, a redeveloped football stadium,
a hotel and conferencing facility, hundreds of new homes,
new space for businesses and improved access for the site.
This closely follows the approval for Criterion Capital’s
£100 million hotel and residential redevelopment
plans for London’s iconic Trocadero in Piccadilly
Circus, which was granted on 8 May, pending completion
of the negotiation of a suitable Section 106 agreement.
Criterion’s proposals for the Trocadeo include a
476-bed Ibis hotel on the empty two upper floors of the
entertainment complex, eight new residential apartments,
and a £500,000 community arts space. Criterion aim
to open the hotel’s doors in time for the 2012 London
Olympics.

the marketing of its stylish apartments in rocksresort,

team, commented "We welcome both rocksresort and
Hotel Monte Mulini to our growing portfolio of hotel and
hospitality clients. Both Maistra and Weisse Arena were
