Further Proposed Modifications to the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011- 2031

Representation ID: 8612

Received: 15/06/2021

Respondent: Mrs Roz Danter

Representation Summary:

As a long time Barkway resident I am appalled that BK3 has not been removed from the Schedule of Further Main Modifications despite a Planning Officer at NHDC advising the Inspector that it should be. We live in this village because it is small and peaceful 'community'. There has already been new developments on discreet plots in and around the village and that should be sufficient. We do not want to double in size.
Can I ask WHY the Inspector decided not to exclude BK3? There doesn't seem to be a published explanation. Can I also ask how the increased traffic through the village will benefit the foundations of listed buildings? And presumably the new development will have street lights, something the village has refused to adopt as it spoils the night sky. This is a country village, we do not want to become another Royston.
