Chorleywood area wide review

Status: Consultation responses have been reviewed and officers are drafting the final decision for the scheme.

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.

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.

Gosforth Lane, South Oxhey

Status: Reviewing responses to formal consultation. Once the responses have been reviewed, a decision will be made whether to implement the proposed scheme and make the Traffic Regulation Order.

Overview

Parking restrictions have been proposed for Gosforth Lane area in South Oxhey. The effect of the Order would be to introduce –

• Residents parking places in Gosforth Lane
• Limited Waiting parking places in Gosforth Lane
• Waiting Restrictions in Gosforth Lane, Henbury Way, Otley Way and Turnberry Court

We consulted on these plans in September 2025. View proposed plans here. 

Langleybury Lane, Hunton Bridge

Status: On hold - pending outcome of planning application. Once the outcome of the planning application is confirmed, the scheme can progress to the Stage 3 detailed design consultation.

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.

Parsonage Close, Abbots Langley

Status: On hold - pending outcome of care home redevelopment. 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.

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.

Rickmansworth West review

Status: Initial Consultation closed 22 December 2025. All comments received during the initial consultation will be reviewed and considered prior to any decision on changes to the current parking arrangements.

All decisions on proposed parking schemes are taken by the district council in consultation with local ward Councillors.

Overview

Three Rivers District Council is carrying out a review on the parking restrictions in and around Moneyhill Parade, Rickmansworth that were introduced in December 2024. The roads and the restrictions are summarised below:

• Parts of Uxbridge Road - a clearway (applies at all times) and a loading bay.
• Uxbridge Road Service Road (outside the shops) - up to 4 hours parking, registering at the machines and some permit parking.

• Mount View - resident permit parking, no-waiting restrictions and some business permit parking.
• Parts of Field Way - resident permit parking and no-waiting restrictions.
• Dellwood - no-waiting restrictions and permit parking.

These restrictions form part of a Controlled Parking Zone, known as Zone ‘RW’. More information about Controlled Parking Zones in Three Rivers is available at www.threerivers.gov.uk/services/parking/parking-permits.

The council would like to determine whether residents, businesses and visitors are happy with the current parking restrictions, or whether any improvements could be made.

Please note:

• Should proposed improvements be developed, further public consultation will take place prior to implementation.
• If there isn’t clear support for changes, or if views are strongly conflicted, the council may not develop this review further.
• Only feedback relevant to this scheme will be considered, please contact the council about other transport or parking issues separately.

School Mead, Abbots Langley

Status: Scheme decided. Implementation date 27 February 2026.

Overview

The district council created new parking provision on School Mead, Abbots Langley. This was done to protect the verges and provide additional valuable parking to shop visitors. Parking restrictions are proposed on these new parking spaces and those which are directly outside the shops to encourage a churn of visitors to the area.

Silk Mill Road, Oxhey Hall

Status: Initial consultation open. All comments received during the initial consultation will be reviewed and considered prior to any decision on changes to the current parking arrangements.

All decisions on proposed parking schemes are taken by the district council in consultation with local ward Councillors.

Overview

Three Rivers District Council wants your views on permit parking in and around the Silk Mill Road area in Oxhey Hall.

A petition with 41 signatures was presented to and accepted by the Council on 10 October 2023. The petition requested a consultation on permit parking due to increased parking by non-residents, as well as an extension to double yellow lines on Silk Mill Road at its junction with Eastbury Road. This petition request was added to the 2025-2027 Parking Management Work Programme for investigation.

We would like to know if residents in the area would be in support of introducing a permit parking scheme. The council generally only implements permit parking schemes where there is majority support from residents residing in the proposed area.

Permit parking schemes are designed to manage parking demand in areas where spaces are limited. Under a scheme, on-street parking is restricted during set days and times, and only vehicles displaying a valid permit (or visitor permit) are allowed to park without time limits. Residents and, in some cases, local businesses can apply for permits, while non-permit holders may be restricted or required to pay to park.

The main benefits of permit parking schemes are that they can reduce parking by non-residents, improve the availability of spaces for local people, and discourage long-stay commuter parking. However, there can also be disadvantages, including the cost of permits, potential displacement of parking into neighbouring streets, and the need for ongoing enforcement. This consultation seeks to understand whether residents feel the benefits would outweigh the drawbacks in this area.

More information about permit parking in Three Rivers district, how they operate and the typical annual charges for permits can be found on our website at www.threerivers.gov.uk/services/parking/parking-permits.

You are invited to provide your response via our consultation platform: haveyoursay.threerivers.gov.uk/silk-mill-road

The deadline for responses is 6 February 2026.

Please note:

• Should proposed improvements be developed, further public consultation will take place prior to implementation.
• If there isn’t clear support for changes, or if views are strongly conflicted, the council may not develop this review further.
• Only feedback relevant to this scheme will be considered, please contact the council about other transport or parking issues separately.
