Further Proposed Modifications to the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011- 2031
Representation ID: 8838
Received: 23/06/2021
Respondent: Dr John Webb
Query: Would it be possible to use a planning condition to disincentivise speculative land banking?
Suggested wording:
“To ensure that housing is delivered in a timely manner, each Strategic Masterplan will require that every planning permission pertaining to it must include a condition that the development be built out on a prescribed schedule. (e.g. 3 years, then 2 years extension if the reason for delay is outside of the developer's control) In the absence of completion, the remainder of the planning permission would automatically expire."
