The Village center has a lively trading environment serving the wider rural area but has traffic congestion on the B197, to increase Knebworth by 31% would over stretch the amenities. No additional Schooling is proposed. Doctors Surgery full. Cemetery provision not included.Any plan would change the Rural Roads to urban roads to cope with increased traffic, but no upgrades planned for the B197 or the Watton road to the A602 (east) from the village both known congestion areas. Loss of Green Belt should only be made in exceptional circumstances.
