With reservation. The Plan focuses on houses and does not recognise that almost all the settlements, like Knebworth and Codicote, have minimal employment; 90% of households in Knebworth are commuters. Why not assign sites for small business parks, and creative space, as a way of reducing the commuting traffic, and bringing more income directly to the settlements. Furthermore, the Plan should assign space for additional retail and office space in the Centre of Settlements. Knebworth currently has no further space for the shops needed to cater for a 30% increase in population. Please, don't let this Plan ignore parallel development of Settlement Centres.
