House prices in the Three Rivers District are very high and affordability has been worsening. Alongside the need to provide more housing to meet forecast housing growth, there is therefore a particular need to achieve more affordable housing.
The Council considers that it is appropriate for Three Rivers to provide 4,500 dwellings between 2001 and 2026, a target of 180 homes per year. Development in Secondary Centres, such as Kings Langley, will provide approximately 24% of the District’s housing requirements.
To meet development needs, it will be necessary to review the boundaries of the Green Belt at the edge of existing settlements within the district.
There will be a challenge to maintaining the extent of the Green Belt while providing for local development needs and meeting regional housing targets.
(Source: Local Development Framework Core Strategy, Adopted 17 October 2011)
The land is designated as Green Belt and lies within the Chilterns Character Area. Any development would be subject to the appropriate planning permission.
Land values have risen by over 7% in the last year.
Land values continued to rise last quarter and in the past year land has outperformed the FTSE 100, UK house prices and interest from savings in the bank.
These increases are also outpacing inflation as land continues to be seen as a tangible safe-haven for investment. Investors are also competing with a wide variety of lifestyle and environmentally-motivated buyers as demand once again outstrips supply.
