Neighbours are concerned about alleged anti-social behaviour in an area where they believe should have CCTV Neighbours who claim their area is blighted by anti-social behaviour say promises have been broken over CCTV covering a new development near their homes. A few years ago, plans for six homes on a garage site squeezed within existing properties in South Oxhey sparked concerns from neighbours. They were chiefly concerned about a loss of privacy but despite more than 130 objections, permission was granted in 2017 by Three Rivers District Council for the redevelopment of the Bowring Green site, which it owns. Although neighbours were unhappy about the decision and the lack of compassion and consideration shown to them, they were comforted by a number of planning conditions attached to the permission, including what they believed to be the inclusion of CCTV.
Leavesden Country Park Grass cutting will be reduced this year at several locations around Three Rivers as part of a pilot project to increase biodiversity across the district. Some green spaces will remain uncut in order to find out what wildflowers grow naturally and the wildlife they attract. The project will start later this month and will feed into a county-wide audit taking place this summer which aims to better understand the rich biodiversity across Hertfordshire everything from plants to mammals and insects. The pilot includes areas in Rickmansworth Park, Rickmansworth Aquadrome, Fortune Common in Rickmansworth, Mead Place in Mill End, Hayling Road and Woodhall Lane in South Oxhey, South border of Carpenders Park, Leavesden Country Park, East Lane Cemetery, Leavesden, and Swillet Park in Chorleywood.

Undeveloped greenfield land could become the home of two new warehouses. Credit: Google Maps Dozens of objections have been made after an applicant returned with a revised proposal to construct two warehouses. At the end of 2019, Three Rivers District Council s planning committee turned down a scheme to redevelop land north of Maple Cross lodge. Despite being allocated by the council as employment land, the committee refused the application on a number of grounds including the scale and design of the warehouses, the loss of protected trees, and what impact the plans could have on groundwater. Applicants BCL (Maple Cross) LLP & Impact Property Development appealed the decision but lost after the government s planning inspector said insufficient evidence had been provided about what piling and other development on the site could have on the effect of public water supply.
