Full text:

After careful perusal of the Local Plan I submit objections to site LG1 Policy SP15. I conclude The Local Plan is Not Sound.

1. Building on Green Belt conflicts with the National Planning Policy framework which states that all inappropriate development harmful to the Green Belt is not allowed. There is a very small amount of Green belt to the north of Letchworth Garden City before the Bedfordshire Boundary, this will be greatly reduced by the proposed development.

2. It conflicts with the NHDC Strategic Objectives on Green Belt.

3.It conflicts with NPPF on Transport. The NHDC Traffic modelling is flawed 4.188 It conflicts with NHDC policy on Transport.

4. The local Plan is not sound. The NHDC have not accounted for any impact associated with The Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.
