I want to participate in the examination stages for the above plan, and wish to change parts of it. Pre-submission/regulation19.
The plan states that 1950 homes on sites E1/2 & 3, are for Luton's unmet needs. Luton has enough brownfield sites, among them Dallow Rd, Crescent Rd, and the Bushwood site alone could hold over 4000 homes. There is no need for this development. NHDC has the West of Stevenage site, sufficient for thousands of homes, that they are holding back for 2060 and beyond, that's illogical. All of these sites have the infrastructure already in place to support development, sites E1/2 &3, have no infrastructure.
Removing E1/2&3 from the green belt is not an exceptional circumstances and would remove part of the Lungs of Luton. We need this to stay Green Belt to help overcome the pollution we already get from Luton Airport, and it will get worse because of airport development that is already underway.
There is no infrastructure in place to support this development, and even a relief road around the area to the A505 will do nothing to help the congestion from this site, as residents would need to go into Luton town centre for Doctors, Dentists, shopping etc.
The nearest Hospital, Police, Fire Brigade and Ambulance are all in Luton, along with Doctors and Dentists and Schools, they are already overstretched, and could not cope with a further 4000+ residents. So further resources would be needed, and as this area comes under NHDC, there would be no precepts coming from the residents of this area to fund this. This development is not viable.
