Our Green Belt is sacred.
The local area cannot support more people.
The local schools are already over subscribed as is the local doctor's surgery.
The local Garden Centre cafe is a thriving hub of the local community.
The roads are heavily congested and cannot cope with the existing number of cars.
There is no high street parking for residents, workers or visitors.
The rural village lifestyle is under threat.
The current proposed planning in Codicote is beyond ludicrous, implausible and ethically bank rust. Any reasonable person who has spent a day in Codicote & the surrounding area including Welwyn village can see that this beautiful rural area is already filled to capacity. The roads are full resulting in long delays on the Codicote Road in both directions, and almost no free parking on the high street. The already existing residents often have to resort to parking illegally due to overcrowding. The local school is already full. The local doctors surgery are already overstretched, on average it takes over 3 weeks just to get an appointment. More importantly our Green Belt is sacred. Our beautiful countryside is not dispensable or disposable at our will. We live in a time where we have a moral and ethical duty of care to respect and safeguard our natural environment. With over 60% of the natural world eradicated by man. All that stands between the continuing urban sprawl is our precious Greenbelt. If we fail to protect our precious countryside than the consequences are unthinkable. Thank you for your time & consideration.
