Croxley Green has many committed and active community groups which support the environment, sport and leisure and the Residents’ Association is a major sponsor of many local initiatives, including the joint community plan which is being written. The community is a cohesive unit for local government and therefore should have representation at county level to reflect local issues.

  • Green Belt Assessment for Three Rivers District and Watford Borough
    South Oxhey Parcel SO9 © Crown copyright and database rights 2019 Ordnance Survey 100018686 Left image View of the garden centre in the parcel Three Rivers and Watford Stage 2 Green Belt Assessment 362 October 2019 South Oxhey Parcel SO9 Description Garden supply/storage site and a grass verge on the western edge of the inset settlement of South Oxhey and close to the east of the inset settlement edge of Northwood. A tree-line marks the edge with residential development within the inset settlement of South Oxhey to the east and northeast and the A4125 and a woodland strip separate the parcel from the inset settlement edge of Northwood to the west. Woodland forms the principal component of Green Belt in this area, with the constrained Oxhey Woods Local Nature Reserve to the south linking to woodland to the west of the A4125 which arcs northwards to contain the inset settlement edge. Impact on contribution Purpose 1 Contribution - Check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas South Oxhey is close enough to more contiguous urban development to the north and west to be considered to constitute part of the Limited – No contribution large built-up area extending out from Greater London. However, it has a close association with the inset settlement because of its containment between the inset edge and the A4125 and its strong distinction from the surrounding woodland. Therefore the extent to which release of the parcel would be considered sprawl of the large built up area is very limited. Purpose 2 Contribution - Prevent neighbouring towns merging into one another Potentially denser development within the parcel would result in the narrowing of the narrowest part of the settlement gap between Relatively limited South Oxhey and Northwood, which in turn would have some impact on separation between the towns of Northwood and Watford; however the tree cover to the west of the main road plays a more significant role in this respect.

  • Green Belt Assessment for Three Rivers
    Maple Cross Parcel MC9 Description Two open agricultural fields, with Hornhill Road running through the centre, located adjacent to the inset urban edge of Maple Cross. The inset settlement boundary is formed of a hedgerow and Hornhill Road to the south east and a hedgerow and small residential lane to the north east. The M25 provides very clear distinction with the wider Green Belt to the west. A ridge crest marks some distinction from sloping land to the north, but there is no significant boundary feature to the south. Impact on contribution Purpose 1 Contribution - Check the unrestricted sprawl of large built-up areas While the parcel is located further from the more contiguous development that forms part of the large built up area, it lies adjacent to Moderate Maple Cross which is associated with the large built up area and is open and undeveloped. Weak settlement edge boundaries limit the extent to which development would be perceived as sprawl Purpose 2 Contribution - Prevent neighbouring towns merging into one another Although Maple Cross is not considered to be a town the open space around it contributes to the overall gap between the towns of Relatively limited Rickmansworth and Chalfont St Peter / Gerrards Cross. However the motorway to the west of the parcel provides a strong separating feature which means that release would have a only a limited impact on narrowing the gap between Rickmansworth and Chalfont St Peter / Gerrards Cross. Purpose 3 Contribution - Assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment The parcel is open and undeveloped, but there is no significant distinction from the inset settlement edge.
