Further Proposed Modifications to the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011- 2031

Representation ID: 8512

Received: 19/05/2021

Respondent: Mr David Dorman

Representation Summary:

Policy SP19 - Sites EL1, EL2 and EL3 - Sites East of Luton should be removed from this Local Plan as there is no unmet housing need from within Luton that will require any intervention from NHDC under the Duty to Co-operate. This is because the true and up to date unmet housing need from Luton is only 2,000 and Central Bedfordshire Council has allocated 20 sites with a capacity of 8,850 dwellings which more than meets this shortfall.

It goes without saying that references in this MM to Strategic Masterplanning of the SP19 site is also not required.
