Contact Details The foundations of this Community Plan are the responses from residents of Chorleywood to a questionnaire circulated to every household in the Parish. A Committee comprising representatives of the main community organisations within Chorleywood has analysed these responses and compiled this report. The main issues and concerns highlighted by residents are: • Protection of our open spaces and green environment • Lack of adequate parking facilities in the shopping area • Lack of diversity of shops and businesses in the village • Üóèèçìñê÷õäĦæòñïòæäïõòäçö • Öäìñ÷äìñìñêèģèæ÷ìùèóïäññìñêæòñ÷õòïöæòñöìçèõìñê the local demographics. • Senior school admissions policies Ýëìöçòæøðèñ÷öè÷öòø÷öóèæìĤæ÷òóìæö÷òåèìñùèö÷ìêä÷èçäñç allocates them to local organisations who have agreed to accept responsibility for follow-through. A Community Plan is a document setting out achievable aims and visions for the future of a community, based upon the views of its residents gathered through survey, research and community participation. The Localism Act 2011 gave communities a greater say in the development of their area. In October 2013, the Parish Council decided to use the powers of the Localism Act along with wider-reaching aims and objectives covering other aspects of community life, to produce a Community Plan and Neighbourhood Development Plan (NDP) for Chorleywood. A Steering Group, led by the Parish Council, was formed from a large number of community-interest groups. The Steering Group drew up a questionnaire based on matters of interest and concern to local people and this was distributed to every household within the Parish. The results of this questionnaire have been analysed and used as the basis for the actions and policies contained within this Community Plan. The Groups involved have adopted the actions and policies, and will report progress to Residents via respective websites and newsletters. (For further details of the NDP, please turn to the Planning section). àëìïö÷÷ëèÙäõìöëÌòøñæìïĤõö÷óõòðò÷èç÷ëèìçèäòéä Community Plan, it is the views of Chorleywood residents, under the independent Stewardship of the Steering Group, which have been used to compile this report.

With a population today of around 13,0001 people in 4,4852 households, the Parish of Chorleywood covers 3.48 square miles in the south-west corner of Hertfordshire, bordering Buckinghamshire. It was administered as an Urban District Council until the end of March 1974 when the Three Rivers District Council was formed. Chorleywood’s direct administration passed to the newly-formed Parish Council operating within the same boundaries. The Parish was extended following a boundary change in 1996 to incorporate the Chenies Estate and later the Quickwood Ward.

  • Full Council Meeting
    Chorleywood Parish Council: Full Council meeting - Notes by GH (in attendance as a member of the public) of matters relevant to Chorleywood Common raised at the meeting on 29th January 2013 The meeting observed a minute’s silence in memory of the late Cllr Dr Norman Eve, who died shortly before Christmas. Public Forum: Mrs M Larkin, of Chorleywood Residents’ Association, congratulated the Council on the award of Higher Level Stewardship funding, and said that recreational uses of the Common should have equal priority with conservation; the Residents’ Association sup- ported the suggested Woodland Play Area, and hoped that a Dog Control Order would be made and would make fencing the Play Area unnecessary; it would be desirable to put forward, as a reserve, an alternative to location 13 (near Shepherd’s Bridge parking area). GH, FoCC, said that the Friends supported the grazing project and were interested in the “virtual fence” suggestion; we would welcome the chance to be represented, if there was room, at any meeting to see the system in use. On the Play Area, there was a bal- ance to be struck between recreation and conservation; the proposal would be on the agenda for discussion at the Friends’ forthcoming AGM and a variety of views were likely to be expressed; it might well be suggested that location 13 had not been specifi- cally considered in previous consultations and that residents should be invited to express a preference as between that location and the Chorleywood House Estate. Mr R Hartley supported the proposal for the Parish Council to take over the mainte- nance of the listed telephone kiosk on the A404 (opposite the Gate public house); and suggested that the arrangements for members of the public to speak at Council and Committee meetings could be varied to allow contributions after the discussion of par- ticular items, rather than being confined to the opening of each meeting.

  • Green Belt Assessment for Three Rivers District and Watford Borough
    Chorleywood Parcel CH7 Description Flat, open fields to the south of the inset settlement edge along Old Shire Lane, to the west of Bullsland Lane. The only development is the buildings of Bullsland Farm, which have no urbanising influence. Trees along and close to Old Shire Lane create a strong settlement edge, and the parcel abuts the extensive Philipshill Wood (an ancient woodland) to the west and further farmland to the south and east, all of which slope away relatively strongly from the plateau on which this parcel is located. Impact on contribution Purpose 1 Contribution - Check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas Chorleywood is close enough to more contiguous urban development to the east to be considered to constitute part of the large built-up Significant area extending out from Greater London. The parcel is open and undeveloped, with no sense of containment from the wider Green Belt. Therefore release of the parcel would constitute significant urban sprawl. Purpose 2 Contribution - Prevent neighbouring towns merging into one another Chorleywood is not considered to be a town, and land to the south of it does not contribute significantly to the gaps between any towns. Limited – No contribution Purpose 3 Contribution - Assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment The parcel contains no urbanising development and has a strong relationship with the adjacent Green Belt. Tree cover along the inset Significant settlement edge limits its relationship with the urban area. Impact on adjacent Green Belt Release of the parcel would result in weaker Green Belt boundary, but there is sufficient distinction between this plateau area and the Minor valley sides to the south and east, and the woodland to the west, to limit harm to the wider Green Belt.
