We object to the North Herts DC local plans proposed development of 2100 homes EOL required solely to meet an unmet need from Luton of 9300 homes calculated in 2017 as advised in ED224, for the following reasons:
-valuable green belt land; no adequate exceptional circumstances
-Luton’s house building is much higher than 2017 forecast, updated assessed needs are lower, unmet needs reduced to around 2000
-Luton’s unmet needs have already been more than covered by central beds as the designated ‘best fit’ neighbour; with many already in build
-Luton’s failure to require adequate family housing from developers
-extra pressure on Luton’s essential services despite this being a Hertfordshire development eg doctors, schools, hospitals and other essentials which are already under pressure with the existing population.
