This land is precious green belt that cannot be replaced. Building on this site will create extra traffic and parking in an already busy part of the village. Living on the High Street I see the problems caused on a daily basis of the traffic flow through the village. The already extra houses near Welwyn are causing jams up through Codicote. This added to a growth of 25% to our village plus extra in Hitchin and Knebworth will mean gridlock. There is no alternative transport for the village. The A1 itself cannot sustain this amount of extra dwellings.
