Richborough has submitted a planning application for a desirable new neighbourhood on the north side of Croxley Green near Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire.
Designed to an exceptionally high standard, our exciting plans for the 100 acre site off Little Green Lane propose:
- Up to 600 new homes in a range of types and sizes, including self-build and 50 per cent affordable housing.
- A new primary school and land for future expansion.
- A new local centre and civic space, including a medical centre, retail space and a community hub.
- Extensive new parkland including play areas, fitness routes, communal food growing and view corridors integrating views of existing woodland and the Grade II listed Durrants House close by.
A bus route and network of new walking and cycling routes are proposed to encourage healthy lifestyles and sustainable modes of travel. The centre of Croxley Green and Croxley tube station are both conveniently located just over a mile away whilst Watford Junction Station is located just under two miles away.
Our outline masterplan has been shaped by extensive research and consultation including community and stakeholder engagement, local community consultation and multidisciplinary review by an independent Design Review Panel.
A Design Code supports the application to set the quality benchmark and ensure that our vision for the site is delivered by the appointed development partner.
Nick Banks, Senior Regional Director, said: “This is set to be a very attractive, enjoyable and sustainable place to live providing a variety of house types and tenures to which respond to local needs.
“Thanks to the Richborough team and our consultants who have worked tirelessly on this application to ensure it is of the highest quality, to deliver the very best results for residents, the local community and the landowner. We are especially grateful to the landowners and their agent Matthew Green of Green & Co for their support and assistance throughout the process.
“We look forward to working with Three Rivers District Council and other consultees to secure a positive outcome for the planning application and subsequently marketing the site to find a suitable delivery partner.”
Charlotte Lewis, Group Design Director, added: “We’re very proud of this planning application, which fulfils NPPF objectives of achieving well-designed places. The locally inspired design takes cues from some of the older parts of Croxley Green and surrounding local villages, whilst the vision aims to build upon the sites excellent sustainability credentials to create a well-connected and walkable new neighbourhood which leaves a positive, lasting legacy and a place to be proud of.”
