I wish to express again my concerns about erosion of the local Green Belt
Proposed large-scale development on the local green belt will drastically change the character of our area and impact our quality of life. In focusing development almost entirely around the area's main towns and Stevenage, planners are extending urban sprawl, destroying countryside and valuable agricultural land as well as the setting and special character of several communities such as Baldock and the Conservation Area of Graveley all of which are contrary to NPPF 80.
Further development around Great Ashby, especially at Roundwood would result in unacceptable increases in traffic coming down a very narrow road (Church Lane). Part of which is single track and is also constitutes a section of the Hertfordshire Way Walking Route so putting the ramblers at much greater risk.
The NPPF also makes clear that, once established, green belt boundaries should only be altered in exceptional circumstances, through the preparation or review of the Local Plan. Meeting assessed housing need has been adjudged by Government not to meet the exceptional circumstances criteria.

There is not enough emphasis on prioritising development on brown field sites. This should be given much greater emphasis.
