I support the notion that development should be sustainable.

With particular respect to Knebworth there are insufficient park and green spaces; the railway is running to capacity and cannot be expanded without upgrading the viaduct at Digswell; people are already parking up to half a mile from the station causing inconvenience to local residents and to anybody trying to use the residential streets; Deards End lane is a conservation area and is unsuitable for commercial traffic; the listed railway bridge over the East Coast main line has a weight limit.
