District Plan 2018 Evidence Base

East Herts Council has collated an evidence base to support the 2018 District Plan and inform decision-making.

These documents do not in themselves form the Council’s planning policies. Technical work is often undertaken on a district-wide basis or in partnership with neighbouring authorities. In some instances, evidence is prepared by independent consultants acting on behalf of the Council.

Evidence base documents and further information can be viewed by expanding each section below.

Updated evidence documents that will inform the new Local Plan can be seen here.
