Further Proposed Modifications to the North Hertfordshire Local Plan 2011- 2031

I wish to object to this planning application on the following grounds.
A very large number of houses are proposed, but without creating any jobs to balance the very large increase of properties and residents in our small village.
Barkway has very limited amenities and it is necessary to drive to access shops, doctors, schools etc. There is a bus service but it is not very convenient, and provides a very poor connection to the nearest towns, therefore you do have to rely on private transport to live here.
This site will therefore not meet the Governments requirements for sustainability. Adding so many new properties, without creating more jobs in the village means people will have to travel, using private cars to get to work. This is against many planning rules.
Whilst electric cars could be used, these are not very affordable at this time, and unlikely to be afforded by someone seeking to buy an affordable home.
These houses should therefore be built in other locations, or towns in the area, where there is public transport, jobs, and amenities, not stuck on a small rural village.
You can already see the volume of traffic and parked cars in the village as a result of people with families with more than one car plus the new homes which have already been built. Often block and obstruct the pavements making it extremely hard for wheelchair and pushchair access. The country lanes and high streets are not designed to take this volume.
Whilst we do need some homes, these should be built where there are the resources to support them.
