Whilst many will welcome the opportunity to reduce congestion in the centre of the village this plan takes no account of the total lack of any employment proposition. As such the specific section relating to KB3 further reduces the sustainability of Knebworth as a self-contained village supporting employmen. Further increasing housing stock in the centre of the village simply adds to the pressures proposed elsewhere in the plan replacing one set of access challenges with another. There is no evidence that developing the centre of the village takes into account any cooperation between the needs of locals (additional infrastructure) transport (servicing the needs of the new residents) utilities (water drainage et cetera) and the desire of the plan to deliver more housing.
