Representation ID: 1743

Received: 30/11/2016

Respondent: Sarah Livesey

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? Yes

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

I object to the proposed use of land east of Knebworth for the following reasons:

The removal of green belt, contrary to Government policy, increases the risk of coalescence between Knebworth and the edge of Stevenage and the associated risk of Knebworth losing its village identity

Loss of countryside and open landscape setting

The plan makes no attempt to address access issues to KB4 particularly the lack of capacity on existing roads such as Watton Road and Swangleys Lane
