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

Representation ID: 8597

Received: 13/06/2021

Respondent: Mr Mike Banyard

Representation Summary:

As a local resident (central Letchworth) I am writing to object to the local housing plan.

The ONS estimates that North Herts requires a maximum of 6,000 new homes, so a plan that will deliver 3 times that amount, predominantly built on Green Belt land that acts as the lungs for the country, is both environmentally and economically damaging

I urge you to reconsider and scale back the plans to that which is actually needed.
