Object to WE1:
- We accept the need to build new houses, and strongly support the arguments put forward in the Weston Parish Council Local Plan submission.
- We do not understand why the most obvious site for further development, west of Stevenage, has been ruled out in this Housing Plan.
- Scale and allocations of the development is not sustainable
We are residents in Weston and have studied the NHDC Local Housing Plan. We accept the need to build new houses, and strongly support the arguments put forward in the Weston Parish Council Local Plan submission.
We do not understand why the most obvious site for further development, west of Stevenage, has been ruled out in this Housing Plan. The expansion of East Stevenage further away from the A1 and Stevenage railway station will make commuting into London much more difficult. London commuters heading for Baldock will find Weston becoming increasingly impassable, not helped by the increase in parked cars and lorries on the through roads.
We would urge the Council to look closely at the WPC submission and amend the current plans.
