Chorleywood area wide review

Status: Reviewing responses to formal consultation

Overview

It is proposed to introduce No Waiting at Any Time restrictions on Grovewood Close, Grove Way, Shire Lane (including the service road), Chorleywood Bottom, Common Gate Road and Clements Road, as well as No Waiting Monday-Friday 10am-11am (Single Yellow Line) restrictions on Grove Way and Shire Lane, new Permit Parking Areas on Grovewood Close (Zone ‘OW’) and Haddon Road (Zone ‘OZ’), and additional Permit Parking Bays for Zone ‘OZ’ on Chorleywood Bottom and Quickley Lane.

Reasons

Following requests from 28 streets in Chorleywood asking for a wide-scale review of parking in the village, 2,191 properties in Chorleywood were consulted on their views on parking problems in July 2021. 707 responses were received to this consultation. In light of these responses, it was decided to proceed with parking proposals at Grove Way, Grovewood Close, Haddon Road, Shire Lane and Chorleywood Bottom, as the majority of respondents supported alterations to the existing restrictions at these locations.

The introduction of Permit Parking Areas on Grovewood Close and Haddon Road aims to prevent commuter parking within these roads and allow for easier parking for residents during the times when the restrictions are active. Only vehicles with a permit will be allowed to park on-street between 10am-11am on Monday-Friday.

The introduction of Permit Parking Bays on Chorleywood Bottom and Quickley Lane aims to reserve on-street parking for permit holders during the hours of operation. The marked-out bays will also indicate where it is safe for vehicles to park. The implementation of these Permit Parking Bays should make it easier for residents to park in the vicinity of their homes, whilst also improving road safety.

The introduction of No Waiting at Any Time (Double Yellow Line) restrictions on Chorleywood Bottom, Clements Road, Common Gate Road, Grove Way, Grovewood Close, Shire Lane and the Shire Lane service road aims to prevent inappropriate parking and maintain good visibility at or near to junctions, and to ensure the safe, convenient, and expeditious movement of traffic. The restriction will also help enforce Rule 243 of the Highway Code, which prevents parking opposite or within 10 metres of a junction.

The introduction of ‘No Waiting Mon-Fri 10am-11am’ (Single Yellow Line) restrictions on sections of Grove Way will prevent all-day commuter parking, whilst still allowing safe parking for all but five hours weekly, minimising disruption to residents/visitors who wish to safely park on Grove Way.

The public consultation closed on 4 July 2025. View the proposal plans.

Next steps

Consultation responses will be reviewed and a decision made whether to implement the proposed scheme and make the Traffic Regulation Order.

Langleybury Lane

Status: On hold - pending outcome of planning application

Overview

We are investigating parking problems around St Paul’s School, Langleybury Lane, Hunton Bridge. Draft preliminary design plans were published.

The proposals include parking bays where our engineers consider parking would be safe and will not obstruct traffic flow, with parking restrictions elsewhere. These proposals are intended to improve the local environment for everyone, including people who do not drive but who are affected by parking – for example, where it obstructs footways or blocks sightlines, making it harder to cross the road.

You can view the proposal plans here: Langleybury Lane parking proposal plans (PDF).

Next steps

Once the outcome of the planning application is confirmed, the scheme can progress to the Stage 3 detailed design consultation.

Parsonage Close

Status: On hold - pending outcome of care home redevelopment

Overview

We conducted a survey to seek the views of residents on a proposed design to address the parking problems in Parsonage Close and the eastern part of Abbots Road in early 2018. The relevant committee determined that no further scheme will be progressed in Parsonage Close and Abbots Road, except for:

• double yellow lines around the junction of Abbots Road (NE-SW arm) with Abbots Road (NW-SE arm) for 10 metres in each direction to protect visibility for people walking, cycling or driving around this junction
• proposed double yellow lines in the Parsonage Close garage site and its access road, including the turning head at the western end of this road, to prohibit dangerous and obstructive parking and to make it easier and safer for drivers to turn around at the end of the road by keeping the turning head clear of parked vehicles

Next steps

Following the results of the care home planning application, council officers are having further discussions to decide the best approach for taking this scheme forward.
