Dacorum Local Plan
The new Dacorum Local Plan details proposals for a 30% growth in housing in Dacorum between now and 2038 and proposes where this will be located. This is of major importance and relevance to all residents of Dacorum and especially to sports clubs; and you have a limited time (ONLY UNTIL 7th FEBRUARY) to view the plan and respond to the public consultation.
The attached document explains more and provides links to the plan and the consultation portal, as well as explaining the DSN position and response. We would strongly advise that you study this plan and consider its implications for your club, and then respond accordingly via the Consultation Portal.

You can find out more on the project website.
