Representation Summary:

Object to Knebworth (in general):
- The proposed policies contained within the draft Local Plan are ineffective, unjustifiable and inconsistent with NPPF.

Full text:

I strongly object to the proposed expansion of the village of Knebworth on the grounds that such proposals are inconsistent with National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), most notably Green Belt Policy. The town of Stevenage and villages of Knebworth and Woolmer Green now risk being effectively merged into one conurbation with the loss of Green Belt land and open countryside.
It is unsustainable for a village the size of Knebworth to accommodate such a huge increase (31%) in housing development. No consideration has been given to the negative impact on infrastructure, employment, education, amenities and drainage which gives rise to grave concerns on the effectiveness of the Local Plan.
