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

Representation ID: 8746

Received: 22/06/2021

Respondent: Transition Town Letchworth

Representation Summary:

The OAN of 11,500 was subject to considerable challenge during the hearing sessions. 2018 ONS housing projections suggest an OAN of at most 8,800. With the heavy reliance on green belt land that underlies this plan, over-provision of housing has a huge environmental cost and TTL would like to see North Herts make a case for a lower OAN based on the need to protect the green belt and in respect of the ONS 2018 population projections.
