I object to the Site KB1 based on;
- Impact of rise in traffic congestion not only on the narrow lanes of Deards End Lane, Railway Bridge by Knebworth Golf Club, but its surrounding filter roads to main roads, such as Park Lane and its Station Bridge. This is already a hazardous journey for pedestrians and traffic as a whole.
Any housing, would damage the character of Deards End Conservation Area and impact on wildlife sites and Knebworth Woods site of special scientific interest.

There is no strategic policy written for this proposal & does not identify any transport congestion mitigation measures.
The proposed site is surrounded by narrow deep roads which become congested with the smallest of road traffic.
The proposal would damage the character to Stockens Green Conservation Area and poses drainage issues; surface water flooding from A1 and land.
Any removal of Green Belt buffer would increase noise and air pollution to surrounding neighbourhoods.
The proposed development would pose a demand on the current over stretched village infrastructure; such as GP surgery, dental practices and the only primary school.

Object to KB3:
- Its high level of traffic poses a positive impact to the safety of the village by slowing any "through village traffic".
- Removing a key commercial site would have a negative impact, not only to the traffic flow, but also the local economy and employment level.

Objection to KB4:
- impact the open landscape
- loss of productive agricultural land
- traffic - London Road through Knebworth
- need a cohesive strategic policy for Knebworth across the proposed sites
- the educational site proposed would not accomodate the much required secondary requirements for Knebworth, but incorporate other surrounding areas - the key site for a secondary proposed educational site should be in the south east waste site between Gun Road Gardens and Wych Elm Lane.
