Full text:

The Parish Council strongly supports this policy. With three Conservation Areas in the Parish, there is a particular need to continue with the periodic reviews of these designated areas. The most important historic asset in the Parish is Knebworth House, a Grade 2* Listed Building. The reference to Knebworth Park as an historic asset is also welcomed (paragraph 4.163).

The support for the protection of Scheduled Ancient Monuments is welcome. The Parish contains a number of these assets, including two railway bridges in Knebworth (see our representations on sites KB1 and KB2).
