Objection to KB1 on the grounds of:
- no convincing case for building on Green Belt
- Deards Lane - traffic and pedestrian safety - difficult to widen
- A1(M) very noisy - pollution
- impact on Conservation Area
- railway bridge is a pinch point
- infrastructure
- mitigating factors
No convincing case has been made for building on Green Belt land. Deards End Lane is highly hazardous for both drivers and (in my case) walkers. I see no way it can be widened. The A1(M) is very noisy when the wind is in a certain direction; people living in the proposed houses would have the noise (and pollution) all the time. The Conservation Area would cease to have any meaning. The railway bridge is a particular 'pinch point'. It cannot take heavy traffic, and if this development goes ahead, it would have to.
