ESA's proposal for a landmark tall building and residential quarter situated opposite the new extension to the Metropolitan Line, Cassiobridge Station, was granted planning permission in 2017.

​

Situated on an earmarked key gateway site in Watford Borough Council's masterplan, Ascot Road is within walking distance to Croxley Business Park and the well-loved Cassiobury Park with its nature reserve and golf course.

​

The consented scheme will provide both private and affordable housing and retail, restaurant and cafe units all of which are grounded in a new substantial public realm and new greet square around which the accommodation orientates itself. The buildings, new station and surrounding space will act as a generator for the emerging masterplan for the area.
