Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I would just like to register my objection to the GA1 and GA2 developments.

Whilst I do appreciate that NHDC must build new houses, and I myself would not have a house if Great Ashby had not been built, I feel that Great Ashby is now full.
There are constant issues with parking and access and Great Ashby Way is a road that never sleeps. The traffic levels are high already and inconsiderate speeding and parking make the side roads as well as Gt Ashby Way dangerous at times. Virtually every evening if there was a fire down one of the side streets the fire brigade would not get through. More cars and traffic simply cannot be absorbed in the current roads.
The local primary school is overflowing, and the residents are registered with doctors all around Stevenage. When Great Ashby was first proposed, there were plans for a doctors surgery on the development, but that has never materialised. It is desperately needed. The secondary schools in Stevenage are already at capacity, where are all the new families attracted to the area by the new houses going to get all the services from they require?
My other concern is the use of green belt land. There are other brown belt sites that should be used first. Green belt land by its own description is protected and should stay green.
The proposed development of GA2 is just too big, and I urge you to reconsider the implications it would have.
