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

Representation ID: 8753

Received: 22/06/2021

Respondent: Transition Town Letchworth

Representation Summary:

Twelve months after adoption of this plan seems late to review the outdated Town Centre strategies. If a review could take place prior to adoption of this plan, it seems likely that a number of brown field sites could be reallocated to housing, allowing green belt land to be removed from the plan.

The proposed change causes a contradiction between “Town centre strategies have been produced” and “Work on these town centre strategies will commence…”. In view of drastic changes noted above for FM50, could this be clarified by proposing that revised strategies be produced now for this Local Plan?
