East of England Plan

We have advised EHDC that we wish to be consulted in the 'Local Development Framework' this is part of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act which came into force September 2004. The Civic Society has access to considerable expertise regarding our heritage which must be taken into account and protected in future development.

A great deal is happening in the field of planning. We now know that west of Stevenage will be built-up; the East of England Plan is currently subject to the Enquiry in Public process. The threat to Hertfordshire is immense even if there are substantial reductions in proposed development.

Alongside all of this are BAA's ambitions for Stansted and Luton Airport expansion plans. It was a flaw in the BAA exhibition that Stansted was looked at in isolation from all that is going-on around elsewhere and we are squeezed and squashed from all sides!
