Exciting developments are on the horizon for Dacorum! The borough has officially submitted its local plan for independent examination, setting the stage for transformative growth. This carefully crafted blueprint aims to deliver 1,016 new homes per year up to 2041, ensuring that future developments are well-placed and thoughtfully designed to meet the borough’s evolving needs.
But it’s not just about housing—this plan goes beyond numbers. It lays the groundwork for thriving communities by ensuring that new developments come with essential infrastructure. Schools, healthcare facilities, parks, roads, and utility upgrades are all part of the vision, creating well-connected, livable neighbourhoods.
Councillor Adrian England, portfolio holder for place at Dacorum Borough Council, explained the importance of this step: “This local plan is a vital step forward in ensuring that Dacorum grows in a coherent, sustainable, and protected way. It provides the framework to achieve that, and I am confident that it will stand up to scrutiny in the examination process.”
He also emphasised the delicate balance between growth and preservation, ensuring that while housing and economic development move forward, the borough’s unique character and natural environment remain safeguarded. This plan is not just about building homes—it’s about shaping a future where people and places can truly thrive.
