Looking into Killingdown Farm from Little Green Lane in Croxley Green. Credit: Google Maps A proposal to build 160 new homes at a farm in Croxley Green has been refused. Members of Three Rivers District Council’s planning committee unanimously voted last night to turn down an application to redevelop Killingdown Farm. The application had drawn plenty of opposition with nearly 2,500 people signing a petition to stop the development, while 317 objections were lodged on the council’s planning portal. According to Croxley Green Parish Council, the plans were turned down due to the impact the private development would have on The Green conservation area, as well as on single-track Little Green Lane.
Watford Borough Council has warned that a dangerous tree requiring major work has been cordoned off after high winds caused one of its large branches the break. A team of experts will be assessing the tree, which is near the Minerva Drive entrance to Goodwood Recreation Ground, as soon as possible. A spokesperson for Watford council said: “Veolia who manage parks on behalf of the council are currently sorting it out and doing an inspection of the tree to make sure it is stable.” This comes as another tree collapsed onto a main road in Croxley Green and motorists have been advised to avoid Baldwins Lane as it has been entirely covered by the tree.
