Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I wish to object to the Local Plan 2011 - 2031; Green Belt. It is national policy to protect green belt yet the plan proposes loosing large areas around Knebworth. merging Woolmer Green and Stevenage to Knebworth. Losing the openess of the landscape. Traffic- I travel to Hertford daily. I had to give up using the 602 years ago because of congestion. I now leave Knebworth via London Road. I find on a regular basis I have to back track to Swangleys Lane to get to Datchworth. Using small country lanes not for commuter traffic. As the plan has no job growth how will people get to work with no increase to public transport., including trains. The traffic congestion generally in Knebworth is difficult. The high street is blocked solid when there is a bus and lorry trying to pass. Stevenage Road has a regular tail back from Knebworth to Roebuck area. Health - the doctors surgery is restrictive in it's capacity, impossible seeing a doctor within the week! I await your comments
