Further Proposed Modifications to the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011- 2031
Representation ID: 8518

Respondent: Green Party
FM017 indicated a population increase of 3330 people, this equates to 1400 households (assuming the national average of 2.4 and rounding generously up).
FM 027 indicates a household shortage of 2100.
That is a maximum requirement of 3500 homes over a ten year period. Providing 11500 homes would mean an excess of 8000 homes.
It appears that the objectively assessed need (OAN) is not as objective as this document despite its name.
Considering the considerable impact an over provision of 8000 homes would have on the local area, services and the environment, I request that the OAN be challenged.
