There is a lack of strategic approach to the proposal for Knebworth. When there is a development of more than 500 houses (Strategic Development Site), NHDC usually draw up a Strategic Policy. This has not been done in Knebworth. Although each of the four separate sites in Knebworth is under 500 houses, in aggregate they total 600+. It appears that NHDC are deliberately trying to avoid following their own procedures. All sites will have an impact on the village together, in terms of transport, services, infrastructure, and thus should be viewed as such, rather than as 4 separate sites.
