Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

Proposed inclusion of Area Bk3 in NHDC Local Plan for Barkway, Hertfordshire

I wish to register my objection to the proposed inclusion in the Local Plan for Barkway, of the area marked as Bk3.

The proposed development of Bk3 is not sustainable development as -

. Barkway has few amenities and no street lighting along the main High Street, Cambridge Road, Royston Road, etc.

. There is only a minimal bus service with poor connections to nearby towns.

. Development of Bk3 would mean a vast increase in the number of private cars using the narrow local roads.

The total proposed development included in Bk1, 2 and 3, of 173 houses represents a 62% increase in the size of the village and would therefore be entirely inappropriate.
