As discussed in our note of 4th September, the government has recently issued two consultation papers on proposed changes to the planning framework for England. These have the potential to significantly impact Chorleywood by changing the amount of development that will be required in the Three Rivers district and the rules that control it. Overall the White Paper is very high level and, whilst it contains some elements that appear on the surface to address some of the existing problems in the current planning system, without fully understanding the detail that will underpin these concepts, it is hard to provide many detailed comments or to be certain they will address the problems. As such we are keeping our response (which can be found here) at a fairly high level focussing on the following main areas of concern:
