Full text:
This site has not featured in any of the previous versions of the plan presented to residents for discussion. Development on this site would bring the boundary of Knebworth into direct contact with the proposed expansion of Stevenage, a fact which has not been mentioned by the council in their plan. This lack of a joined up approach with the adjacent Stevenage Council undermines this proposal. It would also unnecessarily destroy Green Belt and valuable Agricultural land.
