A giant development plan could see more than 1,000 new homes, a hotel

Watford Junction.

The land, which is behind the London Midland station and sandwiched
between the industrial estates on Imperial Way, Reeds Crescent and the
main railway tracks, currently houses a concrete batching plant.

Isn't this just an excuse for building on greenbelt land by cheating;
an ugly industrial site isn't being removed, its just being moved
(presumably to somewhere on the greenbelt, or a playing field, since
they are unlikely to knock down hundreds of homes to make space for
it):
The concrete batching plant would be rehomed elsewhere in the town.
