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

We strongly object to the North Herts DC local plans proposed development of 2100 homes East of Luton, required solely to meet an unmet need from Luton of 9300 homes calculated in 2017 as argued in ED224, for the following reasons;-
1. Valuable Green Belt land, there are no adequate exceptional circumstances
2. Luton’s house building is much higher than 2017 forecast, updated assessed needs are lower, unmet needs reduced to around 2000
3. Luton’s unmet needs have already been more than covered by Central Beds as the designated ‘best fit’ neighbour; with many already in build
4. Luton’s failure to require adequate family housing from developers
Furthermore, there is no evidence at all that NHDC officials and Councillors have carried out adequate, or even any, due diligence on Luton’s housing figures.
