Object to Spatial Vision: Contradictory, inaccurate

Full text:

1. You cannot state that "North Hertfordshire will be an attractive and vibrant place " when you continue to build and over-populate the area. This is absolutely contradictory.

2. "New development will help to maintain and enhance the vibrancy of existing settlements" - this is not accurate as the transport infrastructure is already saturated.

3. "The District will play its part in addressing climate change by improving opportunities for travelling by public transport" - Nitrogen dioxide levels are already above legal limits. How can the council make this factually inaccurate statement as more housing will increase pollution.
