Development of sites KB1, KB2 and KB4 around Knebworth directly contradicts North Herts Green Belt Review 2016. This strategic review of Green Belt in North Herts identified these areas as most significant in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment; significant in preventing neighbouring towns from merging into one another, and significant in their overall contribution to Green Belt purposes.
Knebworth is unique in North Herts as it borders on Stevenage Borough, East Herts District and Welwyn Hatfield Borough. It is incumbent upon North Herts Council to reject development in this area.
