Object to SP6:
- Lack of robust evidence
- Transport Assessment
- Mitigation proposals Hm8, Hm10 and Hm15 should be dropped in favour of an enhanced road linkage west of Hitchin which will increase safety for road users and pedestrians
I am writing to object to policy Sp6 based on the lack of robust evidence and the plans being based on cheapest options and not taking into account he key evidence documents of AECOM local plan testing technical note dated 6 th July 2016 and the Odyssey Markides technical review of 23rd September 2016. These failed t o lol at proposed development of Luton and this trip generation.in addition the council does not take into account the traffic growth sources.
Consequently mitigation proposals Hm8, Hm10 and Hm15 should be dropped in favour of an enhanced road linkage west of Hitchin which will resolve current and future tragic issues which are an accident waiting to happen due to increased traffic and pedestrians and other road users on this very busy road system.
Safety and health issues are paramount in this decision rather than money as the situation needs a solution which has long term aims rather than short term goals.
