Scotsbridge Open Space Draft Management Plan (2027-2032) Consultation

A new 5-year management plan has been drafted for Scotsbridge Open Space in Rickmansworth.

This draft management plan intends to support appropriate long-term management of Scotsbridge Open Space, including the river Chess which passes through the site. This plan aims to provide a well-maintained and welcoming green space for the local community, whilst protecting and enhancing the river Chess, celebrating its importance as a chalk river and ensuring it is enjoyed responsibly by visitors and minimising the risk of flooding from the river.

Feedback has been taken onboard following the briefing document consultation. Please note the date change of the plan from 2026-2031 to 2027-2032.

We are seeking your views and feedback on the draft management plan. The draft management plan can be found under the documents tab on the right-hand side - please read the plan before completing the survey below.

This consultation will close on 6 December 2026.
