Have Your Say on the Stanstead Abbotts and St Margarets Neighbourhood Plan

The consultation period commenced on 6th February 2023 and ends at midnight on 2nd April 2023. Please read the Plan and let us know what you think by completing the online form.
The Plan will be available online via the Stanstead Abbotts and St Margarets Neighbourhood Plan website https://www.stansteadabbottsneighbourhoodplan.uk and hard copies will be available to view at East Herts District Council, Wallfields, Pegs Lane, Hertford, SG13 8EQ, the Village Café, 23 High St, Stanstead Abbotts, SG12 8AS and the Maltings Café (“The Lounge”) at Unit 25, The Maltings Business Centre, Stanstead Abbotts, SG12 8HG.
There will be opportunities to drop in and talk about it to members of the Steering Group on February 25th in the Stanstead Suite at the Nigel Copping Community Building (Hoddesdon Road, SG12 8GA) and on March 4th in the Ashlea Room at the Parish Hall (Roydon Road, SG12 8EZ). Both sessions will run between 10am and 4pm.
The Neighbourhood Plan has been prepared having regard to the policies of the East Herts District Plan, adopted in October 2018. The Plan has also been checked against Government planning policies in the National Planning Policy Framework February 2019 (NPPF) and the on-line Planning Practice Guidance (NPPG). Within both the national and local frameworks, the Neighbourhood Plan is concerned with the development and use of land in the Designated Area in the period to 2033. In accordance with national policy, the Plan seeks to promote sustainable development and embraces a range of social, economic and environmental issues.
The area covered by the Neighbourhood Plan is shown at https://www.stansteadabbottsneighbourhoodplan.uk/maps This was formally approved by EHD
The Stanstead Abbotts and St Margarets Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group is pleased to introduce the Regulation 14 Consultation. The Stanstead Abbotts and St Margarets Neighbourhood Plan (‘the Neighbourhood Plan’) has been prepared under the provisions of the Localism Act 2011, the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012, and the Neighbourhood Planning Act 2017 (as amended in 2017).
A summary leaflet – which is being delivered this week to every house in the Designated Area – summarises the important issues in the Neighbourhood Plan as a whole and requires your careful consideration. East Herts District Council told us that we had to find sites within our designated area for at least 94 homes. The decisions we reached on policies had to be in line with the East Herts Local Plan. Sites selected for development could not be those considered prone to flooding and sites in the green belt could only be considered when no other possible site was available.
