Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

I would like to object to the local plan with particular respect to sites NS1, GA1 and GA2

There are significant access issues with regards to GA1 and also GA2. The roads are not suitable for the level of traffic proposed to be going down these roads and with respect to the planning application for GA1 the traffic survey conducted is flawed.

Some other residents and myself have conducted a more details traffic survey which shows that the development will result in severe parking issues and potentially be dangerous due to emergency vehicles being unable to get down the road.

I am unaware of what the access points for GA2 will be but if it is through existing roads then the problem will be the same.


Both of the proposed developments are on green belt land and in NHDC email dated 19/4/2016 they stated that the sites were located in metropolitan green belt and as such they were unable to support the principle of the development."

Development on green belt land as per government policy is only supposed to be under "exceptional circumstances and with the support of the local community" which is patently not true with regards to GA1 and GA2.

Building on NS1 along with development in SBC local will result in the effective destruction of forster country which is the last remaining farmland in Stevenage Borough was the inspiration for Howards End by EM Forster and should be protected.

I thank you for taking into account my submission and would like to be informed with regards to the local plan in future.
