Hertsmere Borough Council announced this afternoon that it has delayed its Local Plan process by several months. The local plan is a planning document the council is pulling together which will help shape development across Hertsmere up until 2036. Developers and landowners have put forward a host of housing and employment sites they would like to see redeveloped - and council officers have the task of deciding which of these sites are most appropriate to help meet housing targets and boost the number of jobs in the area. Dozens of sites have been put forward for consideration across the borough of Hertsmere - including 21 employment sites only this year. It is these 21 sites which the council says has delayed the publication of its draft local plan, which was due to be released in May.
