My husband and I are most alarmed by the N.Herts District's proposed plans for the Codicote area for the following reasons:-

1. Traffic. Our roads are already congested and dangerous and will become even more so.

2. Sustainability. Codicote shows the lowest level of sustainable travel of all the preferred housing development areas in the district.

3. Green Belt. These plans go against the Government's aim to prevent urban sprawl.

4. Housing Numbers. The proposed number of new homes represents an increase of circa 36% and this is unsustainable and unjustified.

5. Schooling issues and health care have not been thought-through. Neither would be able to cope with all the extra families.
