Some ideas for your email:
Chiswell Green’s charm is that is has pockets of green. We do not want to live in Chiswell Grey.
How would the developer imagine they are going to be able to compensate with the statutory 10% extra Biodiversity uplift that the NPPF requires. Fail to see how the provision of a substantial rise in green spaces, beneficial to residents could take place – the opposite would occur!
The roads of Chiswell Green are already running at capacity. When accidents or events occur that close any of the local trunk roads, the side roads and lanes in Chiswell Green such as Ragged Hall Lane are used to try and bypass the stationary traffic, causing gridlock on the lanes and enormous inconvenience to residents.
There is a risk of accidents increasing along Ragged Hall Lane as at present some drivers use it as a cut-through route. More new residents would mean more potential collisons. Especially as some parts of the lane have 30 mph speed limits and other parts of Ragged Hall Lane have 60mph speed limits.
The Neighbourhood Plans of St Michael and St Stephen Parish do not support this development. The Site being within the St Stephen Parish.
St Albans needs starter homes, retirement properties and affordable 2 and 3 bedroomed family homes as well as social-rented accommodation. This development would destroy some of our valued Green Belt and do nothing to ease housing need in the St Albans area.
If areas of Green Belt are developed along Ragged Hall Lane, any compensatory improvements such as new or enhanced walking and cycle routes could not be implemented as there is simply no room along the narrow lanes and roads in the area.
The design of the proposed houses is out of keeping with the other properties in the area and will harm the character of the area.
