Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I have read through the below and reviewed the proposed application by the council for land to develop and feel this will be a massive mistake to expand houses in the designated area's.

Firstly the local primary school that has such a good reputation will struggle with the mass intake of children, Already with out this development the school is having to refuse school places to children that live meters away from the school and this year is the first year of 2 classes for reception class, there is no further land for them to develop on.

And the main concern in the mass pressure this will put on the infrastructure of this little village, the roads are already over used and cars parked everywhere, and we already struggle with the lorry's going to the quarry. The village can not cope with the current houses and infrastructure, so there is no way it will be able to support additional house's let alone streets of houses, this in turn is already destroying the beautiful green fields around this village for what it is accustomed for, ,

there is no way these developments can be classed as sustainable.

There must be another solution to this housing issue, as Stevenage was originally designed to deal with the influx from London would this not be easier to extend as they have a better infrastructure than Codicote on its little "B" road, And lets be realistic with the population growing you will never meet the demands and requirements even if you build on every square inch of this country, seriously these plans and ideas need to be reviewed .
