Object to SP16: Green Belt (sprawl, coalescence), infrastructure, traffic, loss of habitat, green space & biodiversity

Full text:

Destruction of green belt land should not be permitted. Building on the area north of Stevenage would constitute urban sprawl,invalidating the entire purpose of the green belt, effectively joining Stevenage to Graveley. This would be of significant detriment to both communities. Infrastructure in the area would not be able to cope with an additional 900 homes, it is not fit for purpose currently, an extra 1000-2000 cars will not help this situation. An upgraded junction will not solve the fundamental road infrastructure issues in the area, and the connecting roads. The existing farmland provides an excellent natural resource for wildlife, and the residents of the surrounding areas. No provision can be implemented that can account for the loss of this habitat and green space.
