Whitwell is a Village. It has No amenities, apart from one post office/shop. To build homes in Whitwell is madness.

Object to Chapter 4 SP8:
This plan is mad as it proposes many houses for a totally unsuitable site.

Object to Chapter 4 SP2:
The Village will no longer be a Village with the proposed extra houses. Whitwell has already absorbed a huge amount of housing development , with houses being built up Horn hill, all over the once were Allotments, and out on the Lilley bottom road before the Cress beds. The congestion on the small roads is hideous, with the high street of Whitwell being impassable and dangerous to any local resident trying to get out of their front door. This traffic congestion then continues down onto Codicote high street through to the A1 and Welwyn garden City, along Whitwell road to Hitchin and out on the Lilley bottom road towards Luton. The quality of life in Whitwell can only deteriorate with more houses and the inevitable addition of many more cars. There is no work immediately around Whitwell so everyone will drive out towards the A1, Luton or the Railway stations at Stevenage or Hitchin.

Object to Chapter 13, SP2:
This sight is not acceptable due to a high risk of flooding. The more we build over countryside, the risk of flooding multiplies.

Personal objection;
We need green space and places for wildlife. Without bees and other pollinators we are all dead. DO NOT BUILD ON GREEN FIELD SITES.
