With severe restrictions as outlined in previous comments. I recognise that the Plan is vital for North Herts economy, vitality and sustainability, and fear that its weak definition of accompanying infrastructure as someone's else responsibility will result in failure, and our future in settlements like Knebworth will condemned to stagnation. But growth without improved roads and junctions, even a by-pass, will be essential. Don't defer these improvements and don't hive them off for other authorities to dismiss!
