WHBC has opened a public consultation on another Local Plan. This one has the potential to add 350 homes into Welwyn, and another 100 at Digswell.

There are four weeks left in the consultation period. Welwyn Planning & Amenity Group, Welwyn Parish Council and others have formed a Local Plan Working Group to assess the proposed developments. After several recent meetings prior to the consultation being published, the working group met last week to review the proposals. Further work items were identified.

The group will report back to the community in ten days' time, with recommendations and suggestions for how residents might want to respond to the consultation.

Watch this space, and tell your friends and neighbours about what's going on.

To find out more about the new Local Plan process, WHBC's dedicated website can be found here:
