Soundness

The local plan doesn't take into account where people will have to travel for employment,
shopping, leisure, education and other activities. I am especially concerned about the lack of planning for employment with a stretched infrastructure including roads, rail and sewage supply. I refer the inspector to paragraph 37 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

It is apparent that NHDC hasn't conducted the in-depth analysis required to ensure that the Local Plan is a sound plan for the future of North Herts
