Killingdown Farm development goes to appeal. Your time to have your say. Deadline Monday 11 October
There will be a Public Enquiry for the Killingdown Farm housing development in November to determine the appeal against the Three Rivers District Council’s decision to refuse planning permission. We will publicise further details about the Enquiry when we have them. A well attended Public Enquiry sends a strong, positive message of local concern about our Conservation Area.
It will really help the Council’s case if residents submit their own individual comments on the online Planning Inspectorate’s portal. You’ll need to create an account via https://www.gov.uk/appeal-planning-inspectorate and then use the case reference: 3280443 to make your representation. Those of you who wrote to TRDC to object to the application will have received formal notification of the Appeal.
Remember, the Appeal is concerned with the primary reason for the Council’s refusal to grant Planning Permission and comments about not building on this former Green Belt site are not relevant. The primary reason for refusal concerned the application’s impact on the setting and significance of Croxley Green Conservation Area and Grade 2 Listed Buildings; loss of ancient hedgerow and; the intensification of the use of Little Green Lane which would spoil the rural character and appearance of the Conservation Area. There will eventually be housing on this site but this can be achieved whilst complementing the Conservation Area and the rural surroundings.
The deadline for receipt of comments is 11th October. As an aid in helping you to to draw up your response you may want to refer to the key objection points on the CGRA appeal response letter below.
