Received: 12/05/2021

Respondent: Mr Justin Richards

Representation Summary:

How is the Council addressing traffic congestion and air pollution? 971 additional homes will push Hitchin even further above legal limits for air pollution. The location of this site will saturate the road infrastructure, which is already under severe strain.

Representation Summary:

Hitchin does NOT need more shops or cafes in Paynes Park. What is needed is more social housing. We already have too much retail space - we need places for people to live and work.

Representation Summary:

Hitchin has enough shops and cafes. We need more social housing in the town centre to make it more vibrant and part of the community. We must avoid out-of-town developments and focus on bring housing back to the town.

Respondent: Mr Justin Richards

Representation Summary:

This recommendation and plan is out of date with modern trends. In the post COVID world, retail is under enormous pressure and this does not reflect the switch to on-line shopping.

Hitchin has enough restaurants and cafes already - it does NOT need more shops. It needs social housing in the centre of the town to help those who are most disadvantaged.

Representation Summary:

Hertfordshire should not allow the urban sprawl of Luton to encroach upon the villages and towns between Luton and Hitchin. This will result in the loss of the greenbelt, loss of bio diversity and will make the area far too urban. Other solutions must be sought rather than just tacking on additional housing to already overcrowded conurbations.

Once again, there is no infrastructure expansion to support any of this housing and this will lead to higher air pollution and traffic congestion.

Respondent: Mr Justin Richards

Representation Summary:

The whole growth of retail capacity needs to be revised in a post COVID world. As the world has moved on-line this projection is out of date and is based upon an old paradigm - we don't need more shops or retail space.

Respondent: Mr Justin Richards

Representation Summary:

The existing policy highlights the overlapping retail markets of Hitchin, Letchworth and Baldock.

It is clear that there is too much overlap and efforts should be made to provide more housing in these centres.

Respondent: Mr Justin Richards

Representation Summary:

(1) We should not be extending the Luton conurbation into Hertfordshire

(2) Once again, there is no reference to infrastructure expansion in these plans. Air pollution is above legal limits yet you plan to add more housing. The local infrastructure - roads, rail, water, sewage is all at capacity. Roads and rail are already saturated - yet there are no plans and indeed, no physical way, to provide additional capacity. This is issue must not be ignored and your plans must be re-evaluated with this in mind.
