See above - really? This pretty much doubles the number of houses in the village.

I wish to express my strong objection to Barkway BK3 being included in the local plan especially after NHDC requested that it be excluded. My concerns / objections are as follows:
1. NHDC requested that BK3 be excluded but this request has not been accepted. The process has been far from transparent - and this seems to be a disagreement between professionals that will have a huge effect on a small village
All correspondence between the inspector and NHDC on the Draft Schedule of Further Modifications relating to BK3 must be published.
Please treat this as a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 for this information to be disclosed.
2. Those who object to the suitability of BK3 must be given a chance to put their case once the above has been published.
3. Examination document ED175. HCC have not requested that the school site be included in housing allocation site BK3. The land is not required for a school and should not be part of the housing site. As such BK3 is not a suitable site as it is not connected with the rest of the village.
4. There are several material mistakes in the published documentation - these alone require a review of the decision. For example the tables showing new homes for the parish in MM217/FM113 do not agree / are wrong and include double counting. Another example relates to the S106 contributions where it proposes spending the money for the benefit of Barley (MM219/FM114 paragraph 13.39, MM216/FM112 in relation to BK3, MM215/FM111 in relation to BK2). It is wrong to suggest taking S106 contributions from a village that has a huge new housing development and spending it for the benefit of another village which does not have any proposed developments.
Clearly if decisions have been made on incorrect facts and assumptions the decision needs to be reviewed. Once we have access to the correspondence between the inspector and NHDC there may be further errors uncovered requiring further review.

My reasons for objection to the NHDC Local Plan are:
Lack of transparency in the process
Unapproved enlargement of site BK3 to include Herts County Council owned land
Lack of detail or explanation on numbers of housing requirements
Proposal of S106 contributions from developments being shared unfairly with Barley
I object to the Further Main Modifications to the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011 - 2031 (the Plan), May 2021.
My objection comes from the lack of transparency to several Further Modifications, including housing numbers for Barkway and contributions from development in Barkway towards sustainable travel to school. I also object to the justification for the integration of the Reserve School Site into BK3; and the lack of transparency in the process that has denied the Parish Council the opportunity to support the removal of BK3 from the Plan as requested by North Hertfordshire District Council (NHDC), or to object to a Further Modification not to remove BK3 from the Plan
I object to parts or the whole of the content of the following Further Modifications, including aspects of the justification put forward to support them.
MM010/FM039, p.32, Policy SP2, Settlement Hierarchy and Spatial Distribution
MM012/FM041, p.33, New paragraph after paragraph 4.12
MM217/FM113, p.144, Table after Policy BK3

MM216/FM112, p.144, Policy BK3
MM219/FM114, p.144, Paragraph 13.39
I also object to the following Examination Documents which have been submitted to the Examination between November 2019 and March 2021:
ED170 Council's further response to Inspector’s Letter of 9 August (EX168)
ED 175 Council’s response to Inspector 9 July 2019
Finally, I object to the lack of transparency over this most recent part of the Examination process that has not provided the opportunity for the Parish Council to fairly state its case in relation to BK3, and the omission of a Further Modification refusing NHDC’s request to exclude BK3 from their Local Plan.

Respondent: Mrs Jackie Connolly
See attached representation for Barkway
Please see below my objections regarding the above:
1. Transparency of the Process
• There has been no public correspondence between the Inspector and NHDC on the Draft Schedule of Further Modifications, only NHDC’s assertion that the Inspector has agreed the Schedule of Further Modifications.
• The reasons for the Inspector’s decision not to accept NHDC’s request to exclude BK3 from the Local Plan has not been published.
• We have not had a fair or proportionate opportunity to put our case against the inclusion of Site BK3. We support NHDC’s request to remove site BK3 from their Local Plan.
2. Enlarging BK3 to Include Hertfordshire Country Council’s (HCC) School Site
Examination Document ED175. This document says that including the school site in the housing allocation site BK3 is pragmatic. HCC have not requested this amendment. This decision may be practical for NHDC but if BK3 includes HCCs land, then there is a risk that more homes than the 140 allocated will be built on this site. The land is not required by HCC for a school. The HCC school site should not be part of housing site BK3.
3. Figures for Housing Allocations, Completions, and Permissions
MM010/FM039 says the number of homes expected to be delivered in Barkway village in the Local Plan period is 208. There is no evidence given for this figure. The figure is critical because Barkway is identified as suitable to support higher levels of housing that Category A villages on the basis that the number of homes expected to be delivered is ‘more than 200’. The figures need to be justified.
MM217/FM113 is a table showing new homes for the parish. The table is wrong and the figures need to be justified.
4. S106 Contributions to Provide School Transport
The contribution from construction of new homes in Barkway is mentioned three times in the Schedule of Further Proposed Main Modifications. School transport is already provided, and BPC have been consulted on how S106 money should be spent for the benefit of the parish. If this modification was to remain in the Local Plan for a bus service between Barkway and Barley schools, Barley would be benefiting from development in Barkway.
MM215/FM111 (in relation to Policy BK2): “Contribution towards travel by sustainable modes of transport between Barley and Barkway schools”. We suggest this is deleted.
MM216/FM112 (in relation to Policy BK3): “Contribution towards travel by sustainable modes of transport between Barley and Barkway schools.” We suggest this is deleted.
MM219/FM114 (in relation to Paragraph 13.39): “Contributions to support sustainable travel between the two sites should be secured from new developments.” There are no developments proposed in Barley, only in Barkway and we suggest this is deleted.
