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

ED175

Representation ID: 8805

Received: 22/06/2021

Respondent: Mrs V Blake

Representation Summary:

Further to the recent notification concerning proposed building in Batkway, I must voice my considerable concern at the plans outlined.

My main worry is the increased amount of traffic which would result from such an amount of housing. The road through Barkway is already a nightmare to use, not only due to local cars but also huge lorries/vans delivering goods to village homes. Such a large number of homes will, obviously, bring not only one extra car per home to add to current volumes, but most new build houses have at least two each!

The resulting jams/accidents will be enormous and I would urge the Council to take traffic conditions into serious account.
