§ Mr. MacFarlaneAs published on 23 February the Secretary of State proposes a modification to north Hertfordshire policy F regarding a green belt around Luton. My right hon. Friend proposes to delete the word "local" on both occasions where it appears and to amend the policy so that it reads
It is the Council's policy to maintain a green belt to the east of Luton. The precise boundaries of the green belt will be defined in the North Hertfordshire District Plan. As a general indication, the western boundary will generally follow the district boundary northwards from the edge of the Metropolitan Green Belt near Peter's Green to its northerly point beyond Hexton and its easterly boundary should run from the County boundary near Telegraph Hill in a south easterly direction on high ground to the east of Lilley Bottom as far as the vicinity of King's Walden and thence southwards to the existing green belt boundary near Blackmore End.
