Full text:

I object to the proposal to build 663 houses because it is not justified and it does not benefit the people of Knebworth for the following reasons:-

there is no local demand for development
there is no job creation
loss of green belt, landscape, countryside and space
added strain on already creaking and aged infrastructure
unnecessary loss of quality of life due to overcrowding
increased traffic on already crowded roads

Site KB4. Land East of Knebworth
the Green Belt already pitifully thin would be reduced to a few yards and if the neighbouring authority (Stevenage) were to insist on a similar infringement it would be non- existent.
Flooding and Drainage. This area is prone to flood due to surface water and subsequent back flow has flooded property on the south side with raw sewage. Development downstream would increase the risk of this problem. There is also the risk of endangering the purity of the water from the Watton Road Bore pumping station situated here.
