Further Proposed Modifications to the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011- 2031

The proposed wording seems muddled, with “related” (to “shops) and “pubs or drinking establishments” acting as constraints upon the permissible “retail and service uses” .
In practice, the primary frontages already have lots of eating and drinking establishments so the value of identifying primary and secondary frontages is unclear. ‘Shops’ are locating in secondary frontage areas where the rents are lower.

Given so many of the housing sites in this plan are on the green belt and have associated sustainable transport issues, TTL do not consider it appropriate for any land to be allocated to meet needs above the OAN, or which will not be built within the plan period.

If 2018 ONS data is applied the housing need would be in the region of 8,800 to meet the needs of North Hertfordshire. Building excessive homes in North Hertfordshire does not align with the UK Government’s ‘levelling up’ agenda.

Has there been a road building programme to support new housing in the period to 2021? Our understanding is that LTP4 has identified building new roads as unsustainable. It is unclear that this paragraph provides the rationale as to why North Herts are backloading housing delivery.

This paragraph indicates that “innovative approaches to construction” may be required. TTL would like this to make clear that the expectation is that these innovative approaches will be to deliver zero carbon homes.

A jump (already in effect) from 330 homes per year to 500 stretches credibility, whilst a further jump 3 years hence from 500 to 1,120 (with infrastructure in place) just seems incredible. What evidence or grounds for confidence are available for the latter target, in view of the uncertainties expressed in FM062?

This modification is a good addition to the local plan. We note that siting and layout that minimise commuting distances and rely on “well-connected footpaths and cycle ways” would greatly reduce dependency on new highway infrastructure.

FM190 states a whole plan review will occur by the end of 2023. FM193 says a whole plan review will commence by the end of 2023. Are these referring to the same review and if so can it be made clear when the review is expected to start and end?

TTL are glad to see that a comprehensive review is planned which will be completed by 2025 at the latest. Given that this could lead to a comprehensive update on the way forward it is really important that the existing plan does not constrain that prospect by seeking to allocate any land for the period beyond 2031, particularly green belt land.
