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

ED224

Representation ID: 8553

Received: 03/06/2021

Respondent: Mr Darren Howard

Number of people: 6

Representation Summary:

We 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 circumstances
- Luton’s house building is much higher than 2017 forecast, updated assessed needs are lower, unmet needs needs reduced to circa 2000
- Luton’s unmet needs have already been more than covered by Central Beds as the designated ‘best fit’ Neighbour; with many already in build
- Luton’s failure to require adequate family housing from developers
