Policy AF2: Community Facility Change of Use

Representation ID: 6644

Received: 04/07/2018

Respondent: North Herts Council

Representation Summary:

The policy broadly accords with the Policy HC1: Community facilities in the Submission version of the Local Plan.
However, the last sentence in the policy is unclear as to what "part" of an existing dwelling would be acceptable to change from a dwelling to a community facility.

Policy AF3: Home-based and Small Businesses

Representation ID: 6645

Received: 04/07/2018

Respondent: North Herts Council

Representation Summary:

In most circumstances, "normal" home working arrangements do not need a planning application for a change of use as the character of the dwelling is not affected. An application is only required where there might be changes in how a property is used, for example if there are employees, additional traffic movements or the installation of equipment.

Policy HD1: Size of Individual Development

Representation ID: 6646

Received: 04/07/2018

Respondent: North Herts Council

Representation Summary:

Object to the policy on the following grounds:
The neighbourhood plan policy conflicts with the emerging Local Plan policy;
The expressed preference for smaller developments could compromise the delivery of affordable dwellings;
It would be useful if the policy made reference to parish level housing needs surveys / assessments as a basis for justification of need for additional dwellings; and
The policy wording only expresses a preference for small scale proposals.

Representation ID: 6647

Received: 04/07/2018

Respondent: North Herts Council

There is some duplication with Policy EH8 : Access to the Countryside. Both policies seek to maintain the existing rights of way network and incorporate new footpaths into that network.

Policy HD3: Housing Types

Representation ID: 6648

Received: 04/07/2018

Respondent: North Herts Council

Representation Summary:



The Council will rely on evidence from the latest Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA), parish level housing need surveys/assessments and local knowledge (for example from the common housing register), in addition to any adopted NP to inform the number, type and tenure of any affordable housing provision. It is very rare to get the provision of bungalows, particularly on smaller schemes, as costs are so much greater.

Policy HD4: Tenure of Housing

Representation ID: 6649

Received: 04/07/2018

Respondent: North Herts Council

Representation Summary:

To ensure that any affordable homes are let/ sold to applicants with a local connection to the parish a S106/ legal agreement will require that homes are offered to applicants with a local connection (live, work, immediate family connection) to the parish of Preston in the first instance. If there isn't anyone that meets the criteria then the following cascade will apply: adjoining parishes (which will be named in the S106); any other rural parish in NHDC district and then NHDC district generally. Obviously, there is no such control over market housing.
