Watford Borough Council has approved plans to knock down a former homeless hostel and build flats.
The plan to demolish 41 Aldenham Road, near Bushey train station, and replace it with six homes was approved on May 19 after being submitted on February 10.
If it goes ahead, the site will house three two-bedroom flats and three one-bedroom flats in a part two-storey, part three-storey building, as well as associated landscaping.
The site is currently vacant and was last used as a hostel for homeless people.
According to a design and access statement submitted with the plan "the existing building lacks any design merit and appears to be in poor condition".

It adds that there is a "generous" area of vacant land around the current building, some of which would be used for the new flats.
One of the opportunities of the development listed in the statement is that it could align the building with the house next door.
The flats plan is a "car-free scheme".
