Slow going - outline planning permission still awaited

Lib Dem-run Three Rivers Council’s record of slow progress on the South Oxhey Initiative looks set to continue. 

Instead of seeing outline planning permission, which it claimed would push the project to redevelop the heart of the community along, it now says it will wait for a developer to do so at “the appropriate time” instead.

The results of the public consultation held in March have been announced.  

345 people attended the consultation day with 114 providing feedback which was generally favourable.  There was concern that some new buildings may be eight storeys high, about parking issues and the actual affordability of the new homes. 

Labour councillor Stephen King, of Blairhead Drive, persuaded the council to put information boards in a disused shop.  He also successfully fought to ensure that, when a shop becomes empty, existing traders are offered first choice on whether they want to take it over. “Labour remains committed to ensuring  that at least 45% of the new housing on the site is for rent and has pressed for better communication with residents above the shops who will have to leave their homes,” said Councillor Stephen Cox.
