There were fears it marked the start of “urban sprawl to Oxford”
“This development risks merging Chorleywood and Little Chalfont.Cllr Wall added if councillors had decided to approve the application, they risked achieving a “massive sprawling conurbation all the way to Oxford”.
Former teaching assistant Cllr Ciarán Reed , who also does not sit on the committee, said: “This is not a sustainable development for our children.”He said: “Schools in Chorleywood are at capacity. “Unless they are going to provide a new school which we do not have the site for, then this application should be refused.”
Cllr Reed added the provision of cycling infrastructure is “welcomed” but there is “nowhere for cyclists to go” when they reach steep hills or the “narrow” A404. Resident John Siden said the application represented an “overwhelming emphasis on housing against breaches of local, district and national planning policy” around protecting the green belt and AONBs.“Some information [around conservation] is still not being provided by the developer,” he said.Council leader Sarah Nelmes , who sat on the March 23 committee, said: “I appreciate the public sentiments on this.
