Insurance broker for Chorleywood
Insurance for Chorleywood homes and businesses from an independent broker that knows the Common, its conservation areas and surface water risk.
or call 01753 882222
Chorleywood, in Three Rivers in Hertfordshire, is close to our office at Chalfont Hall in Chalfont St Peter, and we arrange cover there for homeowners, landlords and the pubs, shops and businesses along Lower Road and Main Parade. We are an independent broker and have been since 1984, so we put your details to several insurers and explain the differences. The parish has four conservation areas, a Common partly protected as countryside, and a history of surface water flooding, and each of those has a bearing on how a home or business here should be insured.
Chorleywood's homes, Common and drainage
The neighbourhood plan lists four conservation areas in the parish: Chorleywood Common, Chorleywood Station Estate, Loudwater Estate and Outer Loudwater Estate. On the Common, an Article 4(2) Direction means owners need planning permission for some alterations to windows, chimneys, front boundaries and hardstanding. The Orchard on Shire Lane, the house C.F.A. Voysey built for himself in 1899 to 1900, is listed Grade I, and the Station Estate, laid out in plots after James Beckley bought the land in 1894, has two listed buildings of its own.
The plan identifies surface water as the main flood risk, because of the way the land falls, and records that the village was twice seriously flooded in the early 1990s, mainly along Lower Road and Chorleywood Bottom. That is worth knowing for homes and shops on those roads in particular, and it is why we look closely at how a policy covers flood and storm water.

Questions about insurance in Chorleywood
I run a pub or shop on Lower Road. Does the flooding history matter?
It can. Insurers ask about past flooding and will want to know whether water has entered the premises. We gather that history with you, present it properly to insurers and compare how each one covers flood, contents and loss of income.
Does the Article 4 Direction on Chorleywood Common affect home insurance?
Indirectly. Replacing windows, chimneys or front boundaries may need planning permission there, which can affect the cost and time of a repair. We check that the rebuilding sum and the policy allow for work done in the way the rules require.
