Full text:

Green Belt land makes a significant contribution to protecting spaces between towns and maintaining the separate identity of Knebworth as a village. Development of sites KB2 will remove the Green Belt buffer between the village and the A1. There will be a loss of countryside damaging the open landscape setting.
Plus, the width of the road under the railways is a problem.
Lack of draining/inadequate drainage is a problem too.
