Preston Parish Neighbourhood Plan 2018 - 2031

Policy EH4: Open and Green Spaces

Representation ID: 6660

Received: 04/07/2018

Respondent: North Herts Council

Representation Summary:

It is unclear from the policy as it is currently worded what is considered to be green infrastructure. The policy implies that this is applicable to all types of green space but the Neighbourhood Plan would be clearer if the sites to which the policy applies to were identified. This could be achieved by designating local green spaces in the Neighbourhood Plan.
The policy will be applied if there is any detrimental impact on green infrastructure but how will this be assessed?
It is not clear why the four examples listed are of particular importance. These should be deleted from the policy.

Policy EH5: Protecting and Enhancing the Local Environment

Representation ID: 6661

Received: 04/07/2018

Respondent: North Herts Council

Representation Summary:

There is some overlap between this policy and policies EH9, EH10 and EH11. Collectively, it is considered that these policies do not add any further requirement to the measures already addressed by policies in the Local Plan. It is also worth noting that the policies in the Local Plan were subject to scrutiny through the Local Plan Examination and may still be subject to modifications.

Policy EH6: Tranquillity and Dark Skies

Representation ID: 6662

Received: 04/07/2018

Respondent: North Herts Council

Representation Summary:

There are areas of potential contradictions between this and other policies in the neighbourhood plan, for example a development might increase traffic levels, designing out crime may increase street lighting but create a safe environment for walking.

Policy EH7: Views and Vistas

Representation ID: 6663

Received: 04/07/2018

Policy EH8: Access to the Countryside

Representation ID: 6664

Received: 04/07/2018

Respondent: North Herts Council

Representation Summary:

There is some duplication with Policy HD2 : Pedestrian Links and Rights of Way. Both policies seek to maintain the existing rights of way network and incorporate new footpaths into that network and could be combined into one policy in the neighbourhood plan. It is not clear why some footpaths have been included as examples, these should be deleted from the policy.

Preston Parish Neighbourhood Plan 2018 - 2031

Policy TC1: Safe and Sustainable Transport

Representation ID: 6667

Received: 04/07/2018

Respondent: North Herts Council

Representation Summary:

The parking standards set out Policy TC1(c) requires additional car parking provision for 4+ bedroom residential units. There is however, no justification for these standards in the supporting text.
The car parking standards in the Local Plan may still be subject to modification and without sufficient evidence to justify the enhanced standards it might be difficult for the Council to use these in determining planning applications for development schemes in the Parish.
