I would like to make further comments on the modified plan.

It has been suggested that to stop through traffic going through the new houses that a new road be built along what is known as Millers Path, a path that runs along the edge of the area designates as a Country Park. This passes along the bottom of a valley which would hold the emissions from the traffic next the area being used for recreation by families.

On the subject of pollution there has still been no measurements taken in Station Road which has the longest queues and is used by many people, young and old going to the railway station and the schools.

With regards to the green belt, the strategic Parcel 21 Bygrave has been upgraded to an overall contribution of Significant, relating to BA1 The council have then said that when aggregated there is no change. However they have taken no consideration of the fact that all the other parcels when added together are still significantly smaller than BA1.

I also find it strange that the interested party, Herts County Council, are the people that are doing the traffic assessment and planning, surely this should be being done by and independent authority.
