The plan will remove the Green Belt buffer and affect the Stockens Green Conservation areas between Gypsy Lane and the A1M. Any houses built in this area will be subject to pollution from the busy A1M and this would also badly affect the health of any children who would be attending the proposed new school.
Access to the new development would primarily be through the Gun Lane Railway Bridge. This is a very narrow bridge supporting main line rail services to and from Kings Cross/ St Pancras but would create congestion during the construction of the new site, and also thereafter for the new residents.
The development would also be in an area where there has been a history of surface water flooding. The construction of new houses and infrastructure would exacerbate the problems.
