Croxley Danes School back ground news
The CGRA held a Public meeting at Harvey Road School on Thursday 2nd November. This public meeting gave residents and local business the opportunity to raise concerns about the proposed building plans for the new school before the TRDC planning consultation deadline of Tuesday 7th November.
The CGRA chair Barry Grant drew up a letter that was submitted by the CGRA on 6th November on behalf of Croxley Green Residents highlighting the concerns that came out from the meeting along with suggestions that will help to minimise the knock on effects to residents during the construction phases and once the school is fully operational.
This letter can be viewed below.
LATEST UPDATE
The TRDC planning committee have approved the plans for the new Croxley Danes School provided that outstanding issues related to drainage are resolved. It has been decided that all parking related to construction works will be located be onsite and not use surrounding roads.
An improved design for vehicle access will now be adopted. The proposed right hand turn lane which would have been used to gain access in to the school's front entrance has now been removed from the plans. This new design will save some of the the public parking spaces outside the entrance to the school in Baldwins Lane. Further discussions will also take place to find ways of minimising the impact that the extra school traffic generated will have in the area surrounding the school along with a new layout to help protect the safety of cyclists and pedestrians
The start of the construction works for the new school site is due in March 2018.
