The updated Local Plan still aims to provide over 14,000 homes, focusing on urban areas. This action showcases the balance between housing demand and the necessity for appropriate infrastructure. Although four major developments have been removed, the overall housing strategy remains effective. Hertsmere Borough Council has decided to withdraw multiple large housing projects based on community feedback from public consultations.
