OVEG's campaign to save the green belt at Bucks Meadow

We monitor significant development planning in Oxhey Village on behalf of our members. In conjunction with the residents affected by the developments, we fight inappropriate ones.

We rarely intervene in minor developments such as small extensions or conservatories.


Planning applications on Oxhey Lane

We’re asking residents to help prevent destruction of green belt land on Oxhey Lane, close to Oxhey Village.

These developments will permanently remove green belt land, damage biodiversity, destroy wildlife habitats, and effectively merge the area between Oxhey Village and neighbouring areas into one larger town.

Find out more about the proposals, as well as tips on how to object, on our Oxhey Lane campaign page.

Farm Way development in Bushey

We’re encouraging residents to object to a large planning application that will build on green belt land, just north of Oxhey Village, with more than 700 properties.

We are concerned about the precedent this sets for unrestricted urban sprawl, as well as the damage to wildlife and biodiversity.

Some parts of Oxhey Village lie with the ‘Oxhey Conservation Area.’ Conservation areas are designated to protect special the architectural of historic interest of a place, or the features that make it unique and distinctive.

The Oxhey Conservation Area is managed by Watford Borough Council. We advise residents to contact the council if they have questions regarding the conservation area and how it may relate to their property.

For more guidance on living in the Oxhey Conservation Area, see an article by Karen Clarke-Taylor, councillor for Oxhey ward.
