Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I object to the policy SP6 and its supporting text on the basis that the evidence is the evidence base supporting the policy is flawed.

Policy SP6 states that the Local Council will deliver accessibility and promote the use of sustainable transport modes in so far as reasonable and practical.

The Hertfordshire Local Transport Plan and the supporting documents are fundamentally flawed:
1. Lack of consideration of the proposed developments within the Luton Borough
2. Associated Traffic along the A505

Also it seems the evidence used in the AECOM and also Odyssey evidence seem to fail to take into account the growth of the traffic based on the growth plans.
It also seems that the supporting plans are also inaccurate missing our housing developments on Upper Tilehouse Street.

Basically all the evidence fails to accommodate the future demand. I am also very concerned about the safety of pedestrians especially children en route to school, the narrow pathways on a densely populated area of town and also the Air Quality, Upper Tilehouse Street suffers from high levels of pollution currently, all these factors will only be exacerbated.

All the factors lead to the fact that the Moormead Hill and Upper Tilehouse Street are not suitable to be strategic roads in light of the Luton Airport expansion and the Luton Borough Council Developments.

The mitigation proposals (HM8, HM10 and HM15) should be dropped in favour in an enhanced road linkeage to accomodate further demands.
