Where we are
Read the latest updates from the No High Rise in Boxmoor campaign group
Hello!
We had a short catch up recently with London & Continental Railways' preferred development partner, Cityheart, and in the meeting their Development Director shared some alarming news: the plans being prepared for the station site will have around 600 residential units and include a 12-STOREY HIGH-RISE TOWER, plus smaller 'finger' towers of at least six storeys.
We think this would be a disaster, both for the local landscape and for the already busy infrastructure along London Road and the surrounding environs.
Their next steps will be to develop their design and progress a planning application with DBC, so we have to get ready to oppose this. We definitely have a big fight on our hands
In the meantime, please remember…
We are in favour of development of the site
We support the need for more housing on the right scale, in the right locations
We approve of some retail if it does not affect the existing shops and businesses in Boxmoor
We welcome enhanced parking at the site and the opportunity to solve commuter parking across Boxmoor
We agree with most of the outcomes of the 2018 consultations
We REJECT high-rise development that will ruin the sky-line and views of a much-loved and historic part of Boxmoor
