I have tried to navigate your online form unsuccessfully.

Please take my objection into account.
I do not believe we should lose our green belt under these circumstances. Green belt is green belt for a reason.

I also do not believe that the forecasted quantity of housing is correct. If this is being thrust upon us from government and is wrong (North /South divide not being addressed - overflowing SE and deserted N) then it is incumbent on NHDC to stand up for local needs only, not absorb the problems of failed national policy.

I am unwell so unable to fully articulate all the reasons I am against this but please register that I passionately oppose construction of housing on all greenfield sites, and in particular Sp14 and 15.

The thing I love about Letchworth, and the reason I chose to return here to live, is its character and distinct town limits - i.e. NOT merging with anywhere else. I have previously lived in endless suburbia and it was depressing.

Please do the right thing NHDC and protect our wildlife, for it is priceless and irreplaceable.
