The Panel considered a report summarising the findings of the East Herts District-Wide Green Belt Review – Part 1 (September 2013), which sought endorsement to use the Review to inform the preparation of the East Herts District Plan. The purpose of the Review was:
· to address whether the District’s objectively assessed need for development can be accommodated within the constraints created by the Green Belt; and
· to inform the strategy selection process of the District Plan.
Councillor G Jones questioned the traffic light assessment and whether some of the features cited as checking urban sprawl could be considered spurious, e.g. an administrative boundary. He also suggested that more vigour was needed in defining the difference between contribution and significant contribution. Officers undertook to take these comments on board in preparing Part 2 of the Review, which would be submitted to a later Panel meeting.
The Panel supported the recommendation as now detailed.
RECOMMENDED – that the East Herts District-Wide Green Belt Review – Part 1, September 2013, be supported as part of the evidence base to inform and support the East Herts District Plan.
