Object to KB1: Green Belt, no exceptional circumstances, proximity to A1(M), air and noise pollution, no provision for A1(M) widening, access
The land at KB1 (Deards End Lane) is designated green belt land. No exceptional circumstance exists which would lead to the conclusion this land needs to be developed.
The land is bound at its western side by the A1(M) and subject to atmospheric and noise pollution from the motorway; it is not suitable for permanent housing.
No provision has been made for any future widening of the A1(M) which is two-lane through its Knebworth section.
Access is difficult due to local narrow lanes and low bridges.
