Have your say on the further proposed Main Modifications to the North Herts Local Plan

PR Date: Wednesday, 12 May 2021 - 11:45am

North Herts District Council (NHDC) has today (12 May 2021) launched a consultation seeking your views on the further Main Modifications proposed to its Local Plan, as well as to its Sustainability Appraisal report, Habitats Regulations Assessment, Policies Maps and accompanying list of Examination Documents submitted to the examination by NHDC.

The Local Plan, which is currently being examined by an independent Planning Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State, outlines proposed development across the district until 2031.

This Main Modifications consultation follows on from public hearings that took place between November 2020 and February 2021.

Ian Fullstone, NHDC’s Service Director – Regulatory, said: “This is an important stage in moving the Local Plan forward and is a chance for residents and communities to have their say on the proposed modifications within the consultation.

“The Local Plan will help us shape communities with the supporting jobs, infrastructure and services that make North Herts a great place to live.”

Responses to the consultation will be sent to the Inspector for his consideration.
