North Herts MP, Oliver Heald QC MP, is supporting the Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation’s public consultation over proposals to develop land to the North of Letchworth for housing in a Garden City Suburb. The proposal would involve properties to rent and buy and include social housing. The Foundation are considering offering this development to the Council to go into the Local Plan.
Commenting Oliver Heald said, " I believe that it would be possible to develop much needed housing but in a way that fits in with the history of Letchworth and the Garden City principles. Of course, detailed planning permission would still be needed if this happened. I do not believe this is a party political issue and I am speaking as a constituency representative, given the housing shortage locally.
The Heritage Foundation is holding an exhibition at its Community hub in Station Road from 18 – 29 November and more details are available at www.letchworth.com/your-views.
