Representation Summary:

Object to KB2 on the grounds of the impact of the proposed second primary school on:
- the character of Knebworth
- highway and safety
- choice of schools
- location next to motorway

Full text:

A second primary school will change the village feel of Knebworth to more of a town, or urban sprawl. It will increase pressure on the roads under on the railway bridges because more people would be crossing the village each morning, in both directions, with young children. It would be naïve to assume that parents would automatically chose the primary school nearest to them, or on their side of the village. Also not appropriate to build a school next to motorway
