Object to KB1: Green Belt, removal of buffer to west of village, heritage impact, SSSI impact, habitat and species impact, proximity to A1(M) (air quality), access.
The plan will remove the Green Belt buffer to the West of the Village and potentially damage the character, habitat and species on wildlife sites of the Deards End Conservation area, and Knebworth Woods site of special scientific interest. Any houses built in this
area will be subject to pollution from the busy A1M
Access to the new development would primarily be through the narrow Deards End Lane and also across the narrow railway Bridge which is not suitable for heavy traffic.
Railway Bridge.
