Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? No
Object to KB4:
- Agricultural land
- Access to open space and country side
- Cumulative effect of KB1/KB2
- Highway safety/infrastructure/congestions.
- Building in the Greenbelt and risk of coalescence with Stevenage
I understand that this site was not mentioned in earlier versions of the plan. It is currently agricultural land which it would be particularly unfortunate to lose from a food security angle. There are currently some lovely walks to be had in this area of tranquillity, with fine views across the landscape. As with KB1/KB2, traffic volumes would increase unsustainably. The upper part of Swangleys Lane is very sinuous, and in consequence hazardous now, without this development, which would also (taken with KB1) risk coalescence with Stevenage.
