WE WERE RIGHT TO BE WORRIED
We knew this consultation was coming and were worried. We were right to be. The plans could be worse but not much worse. SBC are proposing to build on all the land between North Road/ B197, the boundary with Graveley, the drain just east of the low-lying footpath near the cemetery and the existing houses in Granby Road. If that happens, North Herts have already said they would like to continue suburbia practically to Graveley.
All the land so threatened is Green Belt but local authorities have the right to hold a review to change Green Belt boundaries. SBC have assumed they will be able to remove the protective status from Forster Country within Stevenage. Indeed the document states this as a fait accompli!
We will be contacting all members and distributing leaflets (link below) but we urge you now to find out about this threat. Look at site HO3 on the map of all the proposals at

WE URGE YOU TO RESPOND. THIS PLAN WILL IRREVERSIBLY CHANGE NORTHERN STEVENAGE
