No building on agricultural land that will result in grid locked roads.
This is currently used as agricultural land and assume is part of the green belt. Should this not be sacrosanct? You take this piece of land today, what will then be taken tomorrow? When will we honour such spaces.
There are also practical considerations. 700 homes probably means 1000 plus cars. Cambridge/Stotfold road junction is already becomes gridlocked, especially since the building of Fairfield. Can we accommodate another 1000 cars navigating this highway and hitting the other bottleneck at Walsworth Crossroads? It will no doubt also add to the congestion at Letchworth Gate to gain access to the A1.
