Whilst I would prefer 900 homes were not built on the fields between Stevenage and Graveley, I accept that housing must be built. My comments on the proposal would be around the provisions of traffic along Church Lane/Back Lane. Coupling this build site with that approved/proposed for Great Ashby, it is unrealistic to allow this to continue to be a through road for traffic. The road is already used beyond its means and there are several points where traffic comes to a stand still. Traffic often uses this road in the morning to bypass Stevenage from Great Ashby into Graveley and causes a lot of traffic. It can often take 10 minutes to get out of Church Lane into Graveley. This situation will only deteriorate with so many additional houses.
