Representation Summary:

Object to KB4: Housing for housing sake, target-driven planning, respect Knebworth boundary, Green Belt (coalescence), loss of agricultural land, surface water and drainage

Full text:

Housing for housing sake is not planning policy it is a meeting of targets rather than joined up thinking.

Knebworth boundary should be respected rather than merging further towards Stevenage and the loss of Agricultural and green belt land should be avoided.

Surface water and drainage is problematic and therefore development is likely to be less viable.
