Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I wish to register my objection to the proposals to develop land specifically on the green belt north of the Grange Estate, LG1
It seems to me that the proposals go against everything that Ebenezer Howard was trying to achieve with Letchworth Garden City.
As well as the loss of vital green spaces, there has been scant regard for the impact on the environment and the current Letchworth residents.
It is clear that the proposals pay little attention to the catastrophic infrastructure ramifications of the proposed developments. Has anyone considered that it may be necessary to implement a one-way traffic system around Letchworth (as currently exists in Stevenage Old Town)? There are already logjams along the entire length of Norton Way North/South at several times during most days of the week!
I can also see no mention of the potential to develop the existing buildings in the town centre, ie the old Grammar School (which presumably has the same attractions as the old Norton School building) or the Goldsmith's Centre.

My confidence in the ability of NHDC to sympathetically develop anywhere in Letchworth is seriously undermined by its recent developments around the Avenue One/Sainsbury's area, where on street parking already causes major disruptions to
traffic flow simply because the planners did not think to make the roads wide enough!!!!
Little wonder that I can find no-one in Letchworth who supports the current proposals.
