A second primary school on site KB2 is not well considered. This would be adjacent
to the A1 and as such noise and air pollution will be significant. Children and
teachers cannot learn and teach in this environment. In December 2014 the Environmental Audit Committee issued a report stating that: 'A ban on building schools, hospitals, and care homes near air pollution hotspots must be introduced to
help cut thousands of deaths connected to the 'invisible killer' of traffic fumes.' A second primary school will change the village feel of Knebworth to more of a town, or urban sprawl. It will increase pressure on the roads under on the railway bridges because more people would be crossing the village each morning, in both directions, with young children. I would be naïve to assume that parents would automatically chose the primary school nearest to them, or on their side of the village.
