Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I feel that this development is too large, especially as there will be a similar sized one close by. Knebworth is already struggling with transport and heavy congestion , making most of the roads a rat run.
There is currently a need for a secondary school in theis area as all children of this age have to travel out of the village to access their education. There is no mention of extra provision for children under statutory age and current providers are full to capacity at the present time, so where will all these new families go?

Am concerned that this development is too large and near another proposed site, which will cause congestion and heavy traffic in an already busy area. The village is already at bursting point with health, education and transport and there is a chronic parking shortage.
There is a greater need for a secondary school as every child beyond 11 has to travel out of the village currently. Early years is not mentioned - where will children under 5 go in the future as there is no room at the present time in the village, to accommodate every child.

Building as many dwellings in this area will spoil the village and up added pressure on health, parking and traffic.
No mention of extra leisure up community buildings, where will young people congregate or access extra circular activities.
Again, no mention here if providing for Early years provision or providing a secondary school, which would keep youth in this village.
