It is clearly observed that the earliest signs of development were evident towards the western end of Chorleywood Park and golf course. This development took place between the years 1868 to 1883 and was near to the main roads. The second phase of development was initiated between 1883 – 1992. One of the key highlights of this period was the construction of Chorleywood railways and station built in the year 1909.
With the establishment of railways in the village, a considerable increase in the developmental activities was observed. From the year 1922 until the year 1970, a drastic growth was seen towards the southern and southwestern end of the village near the newly built Chorleywood railways. The building of motorways on the western side of Chorleywood marked the start of the final expansion phase for the village. A major expanse of out built was successfully created at the cross-sections of motorways and railways as well as motorways and main roads both in the southeastern and northeastern regions of the village.
