I do not feel that there is a cohesive strategy for Knebworth and thus there is a connection between housing and the infrastructure required. It is ludicrous to be considering increasing the number of houses within Knebworthby such an enormous percentage at the same time as considering reducing the train service to the village. Whether or not this falls within the remit of the Council it needs to be taken into consideration in the interests of a cohesive response.
The number of houses planned is excessive both in terms of its impact on the village itself and when considering the additional building planned in neighbouring areas. The amount of traffic through the village is already a problem and the roads cannot cope with the additional cars that would be involved. Additionally, there would be a huge impact on the village character and the surrounding landscape, scenery and wildlife
