Site KB1 involves erosion of the Green Belt - this should not be permitted. The Green Belt was created for a reason. If this and other areas are removed under this consultation what will stop further erosion under future proposals?

Access to KB1 is via narrow roads and under bridges under the East Coast Main Rail Line. These roads and bridges would need to be widened to cope with construction traffic during building and residential traffic after building.

Knebworth is already choked with traffic at busy times, particularly when there are problems on the A1(M). Development of the village would exacerbate the situation.

Any development would be adversely impacted by noise and pollution from the A1(M).

Any development could impact on conservation areas and SSSI.

An additional single form primary school is mentioned but not guaranteed. This would most likely be insufficient to cope with the numbers of extra children in the village. There is no secondary education provision.

Any development could impact on conservation areas and surface water drainage from the A1(M).
