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

ED224

Representation ID: 8602

Received: 12/06/2021

Respondent: Mr Dominic Buck

Representation Summary:

I object to the North Herts DC local plan’s proposed development of 2100 homes EOL required solely to meet an unmet need from Luton of 9300 homes calculated in 2017 as argued in ED224, for the following reasons -

- Valuable Green Belt Land: no adequate exceptional circumstance
- Luton’s house building is much higher than 2017 forecast, updated assessed needs are lower, unmet needs reduced to around 2000
- Luton’s unmet needs have already been more than covered by Central Beds as the designed ‘best fit’ neighbour; with many already in build
- Luton’s failure to require adequate family housing from developers.
