MM 012 / FM 041 33 After paragraph 4.12 (new paragraph) Five villages have been identified that will support higher levels of new housing allocations than the Category A villages: • Knebworth and Codicote are the two largest villages within North Hertfordshire and support a range of services, including a station at Knebworth; • Ickleford and Little Wymondley provide opportunities to accommodate further residential development in close proximity to neighbouring towns along with sustainable transport connections; and • Barkway as a focus for development in the rural east of the District For effectiveness following the Matter 26 hearing sessions and consequential to changes to Policy SP2.
Making Little Wymondley is classed a Category A one of five villages where a greater amount of development has been allocated, is not sustainable, there is no justification for the allocation of 331 houses in Little Wymondley (WY1). The proposal/modification is unsustainable and there are no special circumstances for the development.
