The Neighbourhood Plan appears to be based on, and is in general conformity with the Local Plan Preferred Options, 2014.
Greater clarity is required in the Neighbourhood Plan about what level of development is being planned for and how this relates to the emerging Local Plan.

The NDP is premature, and cannot meet the requirements set by the NPPF that it
stand in conformity with an up-to-date Local Plan. Further, the evidence base presented is not sufficient to adequately inform a document that will be part of the Development Plan. In this context, it is suggested that a proper evidence base be commissioned, and the NDP reviewed in light of this. Further consultation should then take place on the revised NDP, after the Local Plan is adopted, in advance of Examination.

The housing requirement figure given in paragraph 1.4.1 has changed since the publication of the neighbourhood plan. The Proposed Submission version of the Local Plan defines the housing requirement as 14,000 new homes for North Hertfordshire's own needs with a further 1,950 new homes to help meet Luton's own needs.

Paragraph 1.4.3
The SHLAA was updated in 2016 as a supporting evidence study for the Proposed Submission version of the Local Plan.

Paragraph 1.4.6
The latest figure, taken from the 2106 monitoring work for completions and planning permission for additional dwellings in Pirton is 94 homes.
