Object to SP14:
- landscape/rural character of the town(Medieval/Georgian).
- Air quality standards
- Pressure on the roads (journeys to Letchworth and Hitchin). a pinch point at the junction of Whitehorse St/North Rd-can not be altered
- Railway forms a barrier
- Not enough evidence that the plan is viable financially or practically
- Not consistent with NPPF
* Too many negative impacts of this site. *Adverse impacts on the landscape(rural) and character of the town(Medieval/Georgian).
*Increased traffic would affect air quality standards
*Increased traffic (journeys to Letchworth and Hitchin) would put immense pressure on the roads - a pinch point at the junction of Whitehorse St/North Rd-can not be altered
*Railway forms a barrier so integration would not be easy
*Not enough evidence that the plan is viable financially or practically
*Not consistent with NPPF - the full impact has not been assessed, the plan is flawed and the delivery of a sustainable development isn't possible
