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

Dear Ms Skeels,

Ref: North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011 – 2031 – Consultation on the Further Proposed Main Modifications and Additional Work produced by the Council Wednesday 12th May to Thursday 24th June 2021
Ickleford Parish Council has always been very proactive in its protection of the Green Belt in its village and continues to STRONGLY OBJECT in likely abuses of any areas in the village for proposed development.
The Local Plan originally proposed development of Green Belt at three sites, and whilst one of these has since proceeded, i.e. IC1, we consider special circumstances exist to prevent any further sprawl as suggested for site IC2, Burford Grange. NPPF Section 89 states exception to building on Green Belt might exist, but we do not believe that the overall proposals for building on Green Belt in Ickleford are either "limited" or "infilling", nor has NHDC provided a compelling case to suggest these are exceptional circumstances.
A fully detailed letter outlining reasons for our objections was submitted on 11th July 2019, and all of these reasons continue to remain and be pertinent.
We believe that you may have received objections to new proposals in these Main Modifications on IC2 from residents, and needless to say their objections carry our strongest support in addition to our own comments.
Yours sincerely,

Judith Crosier
Clerk to Ickleford Parish Council
