Further Proposed Modifications to the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011- 2031
ED224
Representation ID: 8632
Received: 16/06/2021
Respondent: Ms Karen Jay
I wish to object to the North Herts DC Local Plan proposed development of 2,100 houses East of Luton required solely to meet an Unmet Need from Luton Borough Council of 9,300 houses calculated in 2017as argued in ED224, for the following reasons:-
• Valuable Green Belt land, it does not meet the criteria of Exceptional Circumstances.
• In recent years Luton’s housebuilding has been much higher than the 2017 prediction, updated needs are significantly less than forecast 4 years ago, the Unmet Need has been reduced to 2,000.
• Luton’s Unmet Needs have already been both accommodated within their boundary, and by Central Bedfordshire as the designated ‘Best Fit’ neighbour, with many already built, or in the process of being built.
• Luton’s failure to ensure an adequate supply of family housing from developers.
• There is no longer an Unmet Need!
