Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I am a resident of Codicote and I having examined North Herts District Councils Local Plan proposal and I whole heartedly reject it.

I have lived in this Village since birth, and now I raise my Children here.

Codicote does not have the infrastructure to add 300 houses. Such a huge influx will be detrimental to the sense of community. The school is not equipped to cope, it is hard enough to get Drs appointments already, traffic is too heavy already and parking is a joke. To increase the population by this level is ludicrous, Codicote is a village it doesn't need to become a town.

I agree with our local MPs Stephen McPartland's view that building another 'garden city' would be in the best interests of all the local villages.

Please reconsider the current unacceptable proposal.
