Object to Spatial Vision: Contradictory, inaccurate

Full text:

1. You cannot state that "North Hertfordshire will be an attractive and vibrant place " when you continue to build and over-populate the area. This is absolutely contradictory.

2. "New development will help to maintain and enhance the vibrancy of existing settlements" - this is not accurate as the transport infrastructure is already saturated.

3. "The District will play its part in addressing climate change by improving opportunities for travelling by public transport" - Nitrogen dioxide levels are already above legal limits. How can the council make this factually inaccurate statement as more housing will increase pollution.

Policy SP6: Sustainable Transport

Representation ID: 109

Received: 23/10/2016

Respondent: Mr Justin Richards

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The roads in Hitchin are saturated during peak hours and any roadworks on the major roads result in significant congestion through the area.
The public transport infrastructure is either insufficient (buses) or utterly saturated (trains). The railway car park is hugely expensive and full everyday.
Meanwhile area pollution is above legal limits and causing health issues.
Yet the council sees it appropriate to build more houses by just adding on to existing towns.
Be brave and build new communities rather than drowning existing communities.
