WORTH PROTECTING? We think so The East of England plan proposed 79,600 dwellings for Hertfordshire; an Inspectors' Report recommended 83,200. The final East of England Plan was published on 19 May 2008. With the 83,200 houses included in it, and adding a further 7,000 proposed East of Luton and 10,000 north of Harlow, we calculate that the figure is more like 100,200. The Plan is now undergoing its first review and the indications are that the Government will be expecting an even higher figure. Will you help us fight for a rainbow of hope over our endangered countryside? Join us, please. Read our response to the original consultation below.
