The NHDC Local Plan is open for Public Consultation. The Local Plan proposes the building of 14,000 houses in North Herts. The settlement boundary for development in Ashwell will be extended and will include the Claybush Rd (site AS1) for 33 houses. I wish to object to the inclusion of this site in the Local Plan for the following reasons.
* Site AS1 fails to meet the requirements for highway safety to protect pedestrians and other road users as defined in both National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and NHDC's own current and emerging planning policy for Highway Safety (Policy T1).
* Site AS1 fails to meet the requirements to protect valued landscapes. The site is within the North Baldock Chalk Uplands Character Area and development is restricted under National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and NHDC's own local planning policy, both current and emerging.
* Site AS1 fails to meet the requirements to protect the historic environment. The site is within the setting of the scheduled ancient monument Arbury Banks and is protected by NPPF and NHDC policy (SP13, para 4.151).
