Broxbourne Council is working together with North East and Central Hertfordshire district and borough councils to plan for the longer-term sustainable growth across these areas.
Broxbourne Council is working with East Herts District Council, North Hertfordshire District Council, Stevenage Borough Council, Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council and Hertfordshire County Council to plan for the longer-term sustainable growth of North East and Central Hertfordshire.
The team has reached a key milestone and has finalised a shared vision setting out the aspirations for the area up to 2050 based around 6 key themes.
The vision aims to inform cross-boundary planning and strategic growth options that address climate change, environment, infrastructure, housing, and employment. By working together, we are confident we will be in a stronger position to deliver and fund essential facilities that local people want to see, such as transport, schools, health and utilities like water and sewerage.
Each district and borough council will still be responsible for preparing their own local plan, but the preparation of a strategic plan will be important for setting the framework and shared priorities across North East and Central Hertfordshire, within which individual local plans can be prepared.
The vision is currently out for consultation until 31 January 2025 and residents are invited to have their say via a survey which can be found at www.broxbourne.gov.uk/community/north-east-central-hertfordshire-vision-2050-consultation.
