    Parish Council Offices Lockleys Drive Welwyn Hertfordshire AL6 9NT 01438 716667 www.welwynpc.org.uk Louise St John Howe Programme Officer PO Services PO Box 10965 Sudbury Suffolk CO10 3BF 4th November 2019 Dear Louise Ref: Response to Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council’s Documents EX156 and EX160. Following the invitation from the Inspector to all Representors to comment on Welwyn Hatfield Local Plan Documents, this response has been compiled by Welwyn Parish Council in conjunction with Welwyn Planning and Amenity Group. Welwyn Parish Council have made no comment on documents EX154, EX157, EX158 and EX159 as they relate to locations outside of Welwyn Parish. We regard EX156 and EX160 as being of great significance and importance in helping determine future development in the area. Both documents cover the whole of Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council’s domain but as far as possible, we have restricted our comments to those sections of the documents that refer to Welwyn Parish Council’s geographic area. INTRODUCTION This report is Welwyn Parish Council’s (WPC) response to Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council’s (WHBC) Documents EX1561 & EX1602, submitted following invitation from the Inspector of the WHBC Local Plan. We welcome WHBC’s initiative in commissioning these reports following the Inspector’s comments3 that protection of settlement pattern was not a statutory purpose of the Green Belt and his suggestion of considering specific designations to provide protection for breaks between settlements rather than relying on Green Belt policy. WPC greatly appreciates the opportunity to comment on these two reports, which we regard as being potentially of great importance in determining future development in the area.
