Paragraph 13.183 states that the village of Knebworth has a good range of shops. Paragraph 13.196 Identifies that "Some of the capacity issues here arise from the way in which the local highway is managed and in particular, the provision of short-stay on-street parking adjacent to the shops." The reason that there continues to be a good range of shops is due to the availability of short-stay on-street parking adjacent to the shops. Removal or restriction of this facility would lead to a decline in those shops, which are seen as being a positive indicator for further development.
