The Hill Group<\/a> has been given planning permission to build 160 new sustainable homes in Croxley Green, near Rickmansworth<\/h2>\n

The development will comprise a wide range of homes<\/a> from apartments to five-bedroom detached houses that will blend in with the local architecture. It will also feature green open spaces, a play area and footpaths.<\/p>\n

Sustainable drainage solutions include swales and ecological enhancements, the planting of over 170 trees, new hedgerows, bat and bird boxes and other measures to support local wildlife, representing a biodiversity net gain<\/a> of 10%.<\/p>\n

Work on the 7.5-hectare site on Little Green Lane, adjacent to Killingdown Farm, is anticipated to begin in July 2022.<\/p>\n

‘Acute shortage of homes’<\/h3>\n

Andy Hill, group chief executive of Hill, commented: “We are delighted to have been granted consent to develop 160 high-quality new homes in Croxley Green, helping to address the acute shortage of homes in the area.<\/p>\n

“We are committed to building an outstanding community of well-designed, energy-efficient new homes, incorporating sustainable technology such as air-source heat pumps, which help to reduce carbon emissions significantly.<\/p>\n

“Our plans also include biodiversity enhancements such as extensive new planting and habitat creation, resulting in a 10% gain in biodiversity across the development.”<\/p>\n

In its report to uphold the appeal, government planning inspector Matthew Nunn stated: “In terms of public benefits, the scheme would secure a premium modern housing development for which there is a clear need, in a sustainable location.<\/p>\n

“The proposal would provide much needed private and affordable housing for local people. A total of 160 dwellings are proposed, of which 72 would be affordable.<\/p>\n

“Such provision would be a very weighty benefit for the area where increasing the supply of market and affordable homes is an urgent and pressing issue.”<\/p>\n
