Further Proposed Modifications to the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011- 2031
Representation ID: 8738

Respondent: Mr David Wynn
I object to the North Herts District Council Local Plan proposed development of housing East of Luton.
This housing development is being proposed to allegedly "meet Luton's unmet housing need".
* The alleged Luton unmet housing need does NOT exist
- this stated need is based upon a totally ridiculous and non-updated forecast from 2017
- IF there is still any unmet Luton housing need, which I do not believe to be true any longer, then it would be more than covered by the building in excess of the original Luton Local Plan
- Central Bedfordshire are providing more houses than could possibly be needed for any possible Luton shortfall
* There is NO adequate exceptional circumstances to warrant building on the Green Belt
* There can be no excuse for building on the Green Belt just because Luton Borough Council has failed in its legal duty to update its own Local Plan.
