The proposals fail to consider the possibility of providing additional vehicle access to Hartsfield School by suitably managing the development of this site. In principle all the Clothall Common Estate may be within walking distance of the school but in reality many children are driven to the school (often for compelling reasons), and there is no point in denying this. Driving to the main school entrance on Clothall Road causes additional congestion that could be avoided if there was vehicle access within the estate.
