Removal of green belt buffer to the village of Knebworth
Increased noise and pollution from A1(M)
Traffic congestion through narrow railway bridges and impact to wider traffic congestion in and around the village
Viability of the land given flooding issues associated with large areas of proposed land.
Housing for housing sake is not planning policy. Incremental additional housing is not fulfilling the amenity needs and joined up thinking needed to provide long term sustainable development. The proposals are simply box ticking to hit housing targets having no regard for the wider implications and planning needs or support.
