North Hertfordshire Council adopted their Local Plan 2011 – 2031 at a meeting on 8th November 2022.
The North Hertfordshire Local Plan was submitted to the Planning Inspectorate for Examination in June 2017 and was the subject of an independent examination. The Inspector’s Report was published on 8th September 2022 which confirmed the Plan was sound subject to a number of main modifications and recommended its adoption. The recommended main modifications, along with the additional minor modifications, now form part of the adopted North Hertfordshire Local Plan.
The Local Plan forms part of the statutory Development Plan for the District that is used to determine applications.
The Local Plan, along with The Adoption Statement, The Sustainability Appraisal Report and other useful information are available on the council’s website: North Herts Local Plan 2011-2031 | North Herts Council (north-herts.gov.uk).
An application can be made within six weeks of the adoption date by any person aggrieved by the Local Plan.
