Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I object to land in Breachwood Green nominated site KW1 for 16 houses to be built.

I am against land in the protected Green Belt being used for this.

Roads are not wide enough for increased traffic flow as Breachwood Green is a rural village. There are weight restrictions into the village of 7.5 tonnes, signage is clearly visible on entry into village after Olivers Farm Machinery.

Cars are already parked on the Darley Road on entry to the village after Mill Way, no considerations for residents, causing obstructions and it's dangerous for elderly and young kids and parents with buggies. Speeding is also an issue.

Public transport - the local bus No 88 which runs Monday to Saturday every 3 hours is already overcrowded and does not meet the needs of the village and for residents. Herts County Council are pulling plug on spending so the service could be cut! School kids have no other method of transport.

The high schools are all over subscribed already, more families with children will only worsen this!

The site which you have chosen is affecting the local residents as you have failed to explore other sites more suitable i.e.:
1 Colemans Road Allotments not on any explored lists
2 Garage workshop and forecourts identified as site 2 from Kings Walden Parish. Surely this is more suited as Brown Field site and would remove unsightly garage and old shops to make way for decent accommodation that's in keeping with village.

I prefer this site to be explored as not imposing on Green land and other people's property! I would like this to be put forward and explored rather than KW1 site. Furthermore I would allow as a compromise to allow the Darley Road to be reviewed i.e. Road restrictions as in give way signs to incoming traffic, speed warning signs as traffic increases due to building.
