I wish to object in the strongest possible terms to this proposal for a Science Park
The landscape surrounding Howbury Hall has changed noticeably in recent years with the introduction of the A421 dual carriageway to the south.
The proposed allocation would further change this landscape, resulting in an urbanised, infrastructure dominated environment that is totally out of context with the historic landscape surrounding Howbury Hall.
The proposal fails to make a positive contribution to local character and distinctiveness. It has nothing to recommend it.
Furthermore, this radical, irreversible change in historic and rural landscape would not conserve or enhance the historic environment, as required by the NPPF 2021.
