Respondent: Dacorum Borough Council

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the above Local Plan consultation. We
note that the draft Local Plan is an update to existing policies contained within the
Borough’s adopted 2030 Local Plan.
We also note that a number of evidential base documents understandably remain to
be either prepared, revised or updated, including the Infrastructure Delivery Plan,
Sustainability Appraisal, HELAA and Settlement Hierarchy. Our following comments
are therefore somewhat constrained and we would appreciate being notified when
those papers are available
Given the geographical distance between our respective authorities and the fact that
we do not share a common boundary our comments will focus on potential strategic
cross-boundary matters, the greatest of which we perceive to be the potential
cumulative impact of new development on the M1.
In all cases, it is important that the cumulative and cross-boundary effects of
development are recognised across our individual administrative areas. By way of our further observations upon the draft Local Plan the following may be of interest to you.
