600 New Homes planned for Little Green Lane. Make sure you have your Say!
It is vital that if Residents have any objections to the proposed "Outline Planning Application for 600 homes North of Little Green Lane" that they submit their objections directly to TRDC via the consultation process using the TRDC website.
In response to requests from residents, asking for guidance in completing responses to the planning application public consultation, the CGRA has drafted a guideline document to give Residents background information and suggestions as to what to include on their responses. The official deadline in Friday14th February but TRDC will accept response after this date, so it is still worth logging your objections as these will be put forward to the TRDC Planning committee.

Future of the Red Cross Centre site - latest news
Report from CGRA public meeting held on 11th December 2024
The Chair introduced, first, Stephen Giles-Medhurst, Leader Three Rivers District Council and, secondly, David Tobin, Chair of the Parish Council “PC” who both spoke on the agreement reached between both organisations for the provision of a new three storey building on the existing Red Cross Centre site. Indicative plans were on display.
The agreement allows for the entire ground floor to be leased out to the Parish Council to relocate their offices which include a large Community Hall space to replace the existing hall. The PC will then be responsible for the management of the hall primely for Community use.
The two floors above will be allocated for social housing only, consisting of 6 two & 2 one-bedroom flats with their independent access located to the side of the building. There would be also allocation of eleven parking spaces on the site.
The next stage will be for the official “Heads of Terms” to be drawn up and agreed by both parties. A planning application (including public consultation) will follow. The estimated timeline for the application is mid-summer 2025 with a final construction completed during 2027.
It was the priority of the PC to retain this vital community space and the new hall should reflect the size of the current hall. The Council would have its new purpose designed offices on the ground floor working alongside the hall. The lease on the PC’s current site expires in 2030 with the porta cabin premises long past its life expectancy so the reallocation to the new site is the best outcome for the PC’s future.
To respect the history of community involvement with the original building the PC would like to see a number of the original bricks from the front face of the building preserved and used within the new building as a mark of respect for the original “Buy a Brick” fund raising campaign.
Discussions were opened up to the floor so residents could ask questions and give their viewpoints to both speakers. Some of the main concerns were that the hall should be primarily used for activities to benefit our community and for the outside to be attractive and not just a square box shape. Additionally, residents didn’t want cost cutting on items such as sound proofing which restricted the hall’s use. Councillor Giles-Medhurst gave assurances that a high level of sound proofing will be included. The news was greeted with overall approval from attendees.
