A Hertfordshire council has abandoned plans for thousands of new homes in its district.
After intervention from the Liberal Democrat majority at Three Rivers District Council, the authority has slashed the number of homes it wants to build on “strategic sites” in the green belt.
He told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: “The new sites and our new polices will help provide much needed schools, health facilities, more affordable homes and far fewer luxury 4+ bedroom ones.” Liberal Democrat council leader Councillor Sarah Nelmes, of Penn and Mill End, said the borough has 136 live homelessness applications and 65 households in temporary accommodation.“Whilst I would love that every single piece of green belt could be saved in the whole of the district, I think we could get the best for our residents here by getting some of the extra infrastructure they need.“I’ve had a doctors’ surgery who has approached me to help find a place for an extension to their practice.
The sub-committee will also progress proposals for 550 homes in Shepherds Lane, Mill End, and a series smaller sites throughout Three Rivers.
