Object: Clearer and firmer link required between house building and transport infrastructure

Full text:

But with reservation.
The transport and road infrastructure plan needs to be firmer and clearer and linked to house building. Not to do so threatens delivery. Adding 700 houses to Knebworth is great for economic sustainability, but if Rail, Bus, transport/parking authorities are not obliged to offer their plans simultaneously to integrate safely the houses , the roads, rail services and parking, safe junctions for motor and pedestrian users, the Plan will fail.
