North Hertfordshire District Council was told what the Rochdale envelope entailed exactly, during very detailed written and representations made during the examination of its local plan. They can be seen here: https://www.north-herts.gov.uk/sites/default/files/ED225 Carolyn Cottier response to Maps & Notes ED213A-E (5Jan2021).pdf ED225 5 Jan 2021 Ms Carolyn Cottier: Response to Maps and Notes on East of Luton from Bloor Homes & The Crown Estate (ED213A-E) (PDF, 21.340Kb) It contains an energy pipeline, and the DCO overlaps onto the North Herts proposed housing site EL1. There has been failure of NHDC and LBC to addess the listed key strategic matters pertinent to boundary conflict/ overlap identified upon cross boundary Luton major development and EoL SHS. These are green belt, AONB, housing, infrastructure, air pollution, traffic and transportation, adjacent and overlapping national infrastructure projects. ED28 - 14 Nov 2017 - Final SoCG between Bloor Homes & Crown Estate EL1, EL2, EL3 Land East of Luton (2) redacted copy. Contained nothing about Airport Enterprise Zone, employment area, Airport, Century Park or New Century Park thereafter. ED81 – Feb 2018 – Supplementary Statement of Common Ground As Agreed Between North Hertfordshire District Council and Bloor Homes and the Crown Estate. Concerning Secondary education provision East of Luton. And the most recent attempt (2 December 2020) to provide a set of common maps has shown conflict with even their own earlier maps from this ED81! Both ED81 and Mr Howell Williams’s recent maps show nothing about Earthworks, Landfill, Airport Enterprise Zone, Employment Zone, Airport, Century Park or New Century Park. It was on page 11 of this document that the true purpose of the overlapping area can be seen. It is a secondary school, primary road, and roundabout – not mutually agreed landscaping between the two developments as both councils attempted to assert. The “landscaping and hedgerow” description doesn’t even match the “Bloor Crown Master Plan” within their own SoCG. During the plan examination 300 consultation representations from East Of Luton and Breachwood Green were "lost" and remain allegedly lost by NHDC and the Planning Inspector/ate. We still require that these be located since they contain vital evidence and local stakeholder views regarding these two overlapping nationally significant infrastructure projects, as well as the consequential DCO.
