The consultation on the Revised Strategy for Growth is now closed.
Please note we have consulted specifically on changes we are proposing to the 'Emerging Strategy for Growth'.
In Dacorum's Countryside (the area outside of the six largest settlements), we are planning to deliver 466 new homes from 2024 to 2040, a 9% decrease from our proposal in 2020.
The Emerging Strategy for Growth (2020) did not propose allocations for housing outside of the six main settlements and this remains the same in the Revised Strategy for Growth (2023). However, the Emerging Strategy did propose a number of sites for employment uses.

Windfall Allowance
This sets out the amount of homes that we think will unexpectedly come forward for development over the period of our Local Plan (2024-2040) that are not formally allocated (referred to as 'windfalls'). This has been calculated by assessing past delivery trends.
