Further Proposed Modifications to the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011- 2031
ED224
Representation ID: 8644
Received: 17/06/2021
Respondent: Ms Cherry Newbery
I object to the North Herts DC Local Plan's proposed development of 2,100 houses East of Luton required solely to meet the unmet need from Luton of 9,300 homes calculated in 2017 as argued in ED0224, for the following reasons:
• Luton's unmet housing needs have already been more than covered by Central Beds as the designated 'best fit' neighbour, with many already having been started to be built.
• Luton's housing building is much higher that in 2017 forecast, updated assessment suggests figure to be around 2,000
• Luton' plans to extend and grow Luton Airport have changed dramatically due to Covid and Luton Council's precarious financial position in relation to borrowing it has made to the airport. Therefore the need for additional housing will be affected in Luton.
• The loss of valuable Green Belt land, with no exceptional circumstances in order to allow this to happen.
• More houses, more carbon footprint and loss of what we now know even more due to Covid is the need for green open spaces.
