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

This email is to register our opposition to the building plans over green belt land in North Hertfordshire.

This land is vital to be retained for environmental purposes for local flora and fauna. Its importance to the well-being of human inhabitants has been demonstrated during the current pandemic; easy and quick access
to natural green space is essential for the physical and mental health of the local residents.

I question how many of any newly built homes would be affordable to local people, or do they just attract those coming in from outside?

There are already infrastructure problems in our region. For example I know many people who have horror stories of trying to get access to over-stretched GP practices, with too many patients on their books; our roads are already too busy for safe use by cyclists and pedestrians and we do not need more polluting vehicles.

Alternative options need to be explored for housing which do not involve evicting the insects, birds, animals and vegetation that have no say as to where they live or the type of homes in which they live.
