The Green Belt boundaries, were defined 75 years ago, and, like my belly, that belt needs letting out. The proposal to use Green Belt immediately adjacent to settlements like Knebworth is entirely appropriate. There is leisure and activity countryside immediately adjacent to the proposed development sites, and, sensibly, a huge addition of newly designated very appealing landscape, west of Stevenage, is offered in compensation. It's a good deal. The restrictions imposed by the current boundaries, tighly around Knebworth, for example, have determined that almost available green space in Knebworth have been built on.
