St Albans District Council has completed its £4.8 million project at Wavell House in Cell Barnes Lane. Wavell House was knocked down and has been replaced with 24 homes including 12 two-bed properties, and 12 one-bed homes - all for social rent. The new building, constructed by Harpenden-based Jarvis and supported by a grant of £720,000 from Homes England, has been called Warner House. Some of the new tenants will be existing council tenants who have decided to downsize, freeing up their homes for larger households who may currently be in overcrowded accommodation. Any remaining flats will go to people on the council’s housing register who have been waiting for a new home.
