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

I would like to strongly object the proposed housing development ‘Further Modifications’ BK3 in Barkway.
The main issue I would like to highlight is the transparency of the process.
There has been no public correspondence between the inspector and NHDC on the schedule of ‘Further Modifications’. There are no reasons explained or provided to the public on why the inspector has not accepted NHDC’s request to remove BK3 from the local plan.
The other issue I would like to raise is about the figures for housing allocations. There appears to be no justification for the total allocated, completed and permitted and inconsistent totals. They appear to have been all allocated to Barkway and not split between surrounding villages.
Lastly, on a personal note I feel that 140+ new homes will destroy Barkway Village. I experience the current traffic situation first hand everyday and the village infrastructure would not cope with any further increase of journeys. There are near misses most mornings from the amount of traffic and high speed. The new housing would directly effect our everyday enjoyment of living in the countryside. There would be an increase in noise pollution and the village community feel will be lost.
