I am writing to protest about the proposed local plan for Noth Herts, specifically the 4 sites in Ickleford. The plan would completely change the whole character of the Village. The traffic is already bad in Bedford road and Arlesley road and such a development would make it worse. The scale of development in North Herts generally is inappropriate for the infrastructure.
Some of the development is on Green belt land which I thought you were not allowed to build on. A couple of the sites are near a river which might make flooding possible and would be difficult to insure.
The school in Ickleford is a much loved institution and there is no need to build a new one if the developments do not take place. The residents of Ickleford were not consulted about the proposed developments.
