Dacorum and Three Rivers Local Plans

Dacorum published their draft Local Plan for consultation on 27th November and have extended the consultation period which will now close on 28th February 2021.  Three Rivers expect to publish their Local Plan sometime in 2021.

​Dacorum have included in their plan one green belt site in Kings Langley, Rectory Farm, which is expected to take 145 new homes on the green field part of the site which is in addition to the 55 homes on the brown field part of the site, which has already been granted planning permission. 

​Development of this Green Belt site will erode the boundary of our village and cause considerable impact to village traffic and local services.

​Some time ago Three Rivers District Council passed a change in their policy to allow certain housing development in the Green Belt. This potentially opens the door to green belt development on the edges of towns and villages in Three Rivers and will likely result in an erosion of the Green Belt around Kings Langley.

We will be keeping a close eye on subsequent policy changes and possible sites that become apparent for development in and around our village.
