From September 2nd to November 24th 2009, The East of England Regional Assembly will be consulting the public across Hertfordshire on options for the region’s development up to 2031. The existing plan covers development up to 2021. This is your time to “Speak Up” about how you would like your county to develop over the next 25 years.

Why should I be interested in the review?

The Review of the East of England Plan will have fundamental implications on how Hertfordshire will change over the next 25 years and beyond. To help you we have prepared a short video.

It will determine how many homes and jobs we need to provide and how these should be distributed around the County, where big ‘strategic’ growth should take place in the form of major development, green field development and Green Belt releases, how we should approach transportation and other infrastructure issues, and so on.

If you care about the future of Hertfordshire, you need to care about the East of England Plan and do everything you can to engage in its preparation. This consultation is the first opportunity you have to voice your views.
