Representation Summary:
Object to Knebworth (para 13.195): Existing railway bridges are inadequate
Full text:
Paragraph 13.195 identifies the high street as a known pinch point, but the two railway bridges at Station Road/Park Lane and Gun Road are both narrow and less than the required width for a two lane road with narrow pavements for pedestrians. Both roads are already busy at peak times and the construction of 384 additional homes to the West of the railway will increase the amount of traffic using these bridges. Construction traffic will also exacerbate traffic problems at these two narrow bridges.
