Please see attached Covering Letter for comments regarding Slip End.

Luton HMA - the GOS confirms positive attributes to development at Slip
End including: low secondary constraints, no areas making a 'relatively strong' or higher overall
contribution to Green Belt, with the site scoring as one of the highest performing options. Notably the
assessment of a low Green Belt impact supports our case that the CBC GBS assessment (see
above) is overly negative

The Council's Luton HMA Growth Options Study (July 2017) has assessed a series of growth locations within the Luton HMA, including the part that falls within the
administrative area of Central Bedfordshire. Land to the east of Ampthill was one of the 32 locations that were considered in the study, following a sieving exercise to remove sites that were situated within areas of primary constraint or could not be grouped to form larger strategic options. The assessment concluded that the site had an overall deliverability of medium and was subject to only 5 secondary constraints ( total of 17). attachment

In the MoU recently signed between our authorities, our authorities have stated that we agree that there is a significant level of unmet housing need arising from the Luton Borough Council (LBC) authority area and that this has been quantified as approximately 9,300 dwellings following an update of the Luton SHLAA (2016).

With reference to the Luton HMA Growth Options Study, it should be recognised that the HMA boundary should not necessarily be considered as a barrier to other sites contributing to Luton's unmet need. Indeed, it is likely that there are areas outside of the HMA boundary that have more efficient transportation links and a closer relationship in terms of house prices and social and economic dynamics than places within the boundary. It remains to be the case that Green Belt should only be reviewed in Exceptional Circumstances - see attachment

Whilst O&H understand the need and justification for undertaking this work, we strongly contend that looking at
growth options to meet Luton's unmet need should not necessarily be constrained by the Housing Market Area
(HMA) boundary. There are locations that are more accessible (in terms of transport infrastructure) and have
closer relationships to Luton (for instance in terms of house price) than some of the areas within the HMA. see attachment

The Luton HMA, and the North Central Bedfordshire Growth Option Studies identifies and
assesses, at a high level, potential options to help meet housing need with the relevant HMAs
to determine their deliverability. The document is flawed since there is no high-level
consideration of the deliverability of B8 strategic employment options. see attachment page 14
