Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I would like to register my objections to the NHDC plans to develop green belt land to the east of Luton.
Development of this land on the Herts border will undoubtably have a huge detrimental effect on the surrounding villages but the main impact will be on the local roads around the Wigmore area. The planned link road to Lilley will not provide any relief for the local residents already dealing with the inadequate gridlocked roads into the town centre.
Luton has a number of brownfield sites which have been left undeveloped for many years. If housing needs were so strong why was the Vauxhall site left barren for so many years?
I believe our limited routes into the town centre should already be acknowledged as having reached saturation point and for that reason alone an estate of over 2000 homes will place an unacceptable burden on the local community.
