Further Proposed Modifications to the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011- 2031
ED224
Representation ID: 8645
Received: 17/06/2021
Respondent: Ms Feroza Bartlett
I wish to object to the proposed development of 2,100 homes EOL required solely to meet an unmet need from Luton of 9,300 homes calculated in 2017 as argued in ED224, for the following reasons:
1. Valuable green belt land will be destroyed that can never be recovered. There are no adequate exceptional circumstances for this. Brown field sites within the town should be used, or areas within the town centre which will become vacant due to the repercussions of Covid on retail. Green belt areas should always be protected.
2. Luton's house building is much higher than the 2017 forecast, updated assessed needs are lower, and unmet needs have been reduced to around 2000. These could be met by brown field sites, or using areas within the current town area.
3. Luton's unmet needs have already been more than covered by Central Beds a s the designated "best fit" neighbour; with many already in build.
4. Luton has failed to require adequate family housing/ social housing from the developer
5. Roads in the area are already gridlocked at times. Further housing will only exacerbate this problem.
Please acknowledge my objection and keep me updated re the outcome of this plan.
