I object to the above application for the following reasons.
It is said this development is to help Lutons unmet housing needs, this would only be true if the properties were only sold to persons on Lutons housing list, and the Hertfordshire county boundary would need to be redrawn to include this development into Luton council boundary. Lutons unmet needs could be met if the Bushwood site was developed, as was planned when the M1 motorway was built, when 2 very large tunnels were built to allow access to this site. Luton also has plenty of unused brownfield sites. So has no need of NHDC "help".
Some towns and villages in North Herts have no or limited developments planned, but NHDC have ensured they keep a complete Green belt around them, this follows government guidelines that communities should not coalesce.I wonder how many councillors and officials from North Herts live in these places, there are certainly none living in Luton as NHDC do not care if Luton residents loose part of their green belt, which is against government guidelines that communities should not coalesce.

The infrastructure of Luton cannot cope with any more traffic, they are gridlocked around Crawley Green and Eaton Green roads as it is. 2000 extra homes could quite easily mean 3000 extra vehicles on Lutons roads at peak times, as there is no feasible route for any of these vehicles to go into North Herts unless the council and government commit to spending £millions on new roads before planning consent is granted, roads which would need to be in place before any building work starts. NHDC has not taken into account the new special needs school being built on Crawley Green Road. This will need access, probably a roundabout. Further slowing traffic at peak times.

No account of the Luton Airport expansion has been taken into account, this will inevitably lead to further air pollution, already depending on wind direction and cloud cover, kerosene fumes drift over the area, with further aircraft movements this will increase. Are NHDC and the Government prepared for legal action over cancers, asthma and other illnesses that can result from their granting of building development in an area of known high pollution, when proper investigations have not been carried out.

I and plenty of other people have registered with NHDC over this matter, and we are all finding it impossible to register our complaints on this website, and are having to use other sites to complain., either your website is not fit for purpose, or is this deliberate. I will be sending a copy of this e-mail to the Secretary of State for him to ask questions about your website.
