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
