Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I am writing to object to the proposals made as part of the NHDC Local Plan 2011-2031. I am especially concerned that the proposals fail to guarantee sufficient infrastructure to support the very significant increase in the number of residents and the increased volume of traffic that will overwhelm existing facilities.

In addition, I believe that the proposal to remove the land from Green Belt status is premature and cannot be justified. There is a great deal of undeveloped brown field land in the North Herts/Luton area. This should rightly be the focus for the development of new homes.
