Once prize money is allocated, the remainder of the pot goes to a good local cause – the Mill End Food Bank this time – and for RDRA admin costs.
Full Council meetings are the main forum for Three Rivers District Council, typically to discuss and make decisions on major policies, the annual budget, and strategic plans for the district.
The YouTube video below shows the housing minister Matthew Pennycook in a panel discussion last week with a collection of planning barristers (who mainly represent developers and landowners). The first question for the minister is around 2 minutes in.
This meeting usually discuss a wide range of topics related to improving the quality of life, safety, and wellbeing of residents in the Three Rivers district through partnership working.
Let’s support the stall holders and businesses in Rickmansworth High Street next weekend. Find some lovely and unusual Christmas presents. Come and chat with us at our RDRA stall.
An existential threat to the very concept of the Metropolitan Green Belt appears to be emerging as land owners, developers and local authorities alike have this year begun to use the NPPF December 2024 ‘grey belt’ definition to reclassify Green Belt sites for development. Far from the idea presented by government ministers of ‘grey belt’ as small sites, of low-quality and previously developed, many are extensive, agricultural land and/or highly biodiverse.
Can you help?
The London Green Belt Council is seeking photographs (using a mobile is fine) plus brief details of land now redesignated by LAs or argued by developers to be ‘grey belt’.
LOCATION (town/area postcode if known)
GREY BELT PROPOSAL REFERENCE (planning application/Local Plan)
And if details available:
Number of houses, energy infrastructure, solar farms etc, whether mixed development and size of the site you have photographed.
Any special features of the site, natural features, footpaths.
If you do not know all the details, the Location and Reference will suffice.
We hope to create a record of how the new NPPF affects our valuable countryside and present it to government and the media in February 2026.
Please send details plus photos as a separate attachment (jpg or similar) by email to info@londongreenbeltcouncil.org.uk by Friday 16 January 2026.
