Representation Summary:

Object on the following grounds:
congestion at the Coreys Mill junction of the A1(M), morning and evening and there is nothing in the local plan which addresses this; and
with continued expansion of Luton Airport a link road from Luton to the A1(M) via Hitchin would provide an opportunity for housing development.

I am writing to restate my objections and concerns to the proposed development of 900 houses on green belt land from Graveley cricket ground towards Stevenage.

Have any of the officers of NHDC ever tried joining the A1M at Corey's Mill during peak times which gets earlier every morning and later every evening - I am sure you have and will know that it is often grid locked. Even trying to get into Hitchin after 9.15 am and after 7pm from Graveley it is grid locked. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE NORTH HERTFORDSHIRE LOCAL PLAN 2011-2031 THAT ADDRESSES THIS. LOCAL INFRASTRUCTURE CANNOT COPE WITH FURTHER HOUSING DEVELOPMENT .

With pressure for continuing expansion of Luton Airport there appears to be no plan to provide better road access from the A1M . If this was proposed, surely a link from Luton to A1M via Hitchin would provide a natural opportunity for housing development.

Finally, why is North Herts District Council , hell bent on destroying village cultural and choice. We don't all want to live in a large sprawling lonely urban wilderness!!!
