I wish to object to the current proposed local plan with regard to the proposed new housing bolted on the VILLAGE of Codicote.

Transport and all amenities are already considerably stretched. There is only 1 main road through the village. A 25% increase in housing will mean a 25% increase in traffic which this road will not sustain. There is no station in Codicote so all workers will need to commute by road as there is no major employer in the village either.

CD1, 3 and 5 in particular are built onto narrow windy country lanes with no passing spaces and in CD1 case no pavement. These roads are not suitable for any increased regular commuter time traffic. Pedestrian safety would be a serious issue.
