Subject: Objection to the Biopark Broadwater road plan
This plan goes totally against the concept and the  ethos of a Garden City. 
We do not need flats and more flats, we need houses with gardens and lots of green space and facilities for people 
to socialise and flourish. 
The development is too high and too dense, eight levels of flats is way too high and not in line with the concept of a 
Garden city. 
People moved to Welwyn Garden City, precisely because it is pleasant and has most of the space and facilities for a 
decent living. 
If we wanted to live in high blocks of flats we might as well have moved Finsbury Park or some other similar area, we 
do not want this for Welwyn Garden City. 
 
Furthermore, where are all the parking spaces that will be required, 216 parking spaces for 289 homes is simply 
inadequate! 
As we all know from experience high rise flats without enough space and facilities for people’s needs (and don’t 
forget, families tend to grow in size) will soon become an area characterised by social problems.  
 
We have no hospital, not enough doctors or dentists and the pressure on schools in the local area will be even 
higher. 
How will the infrastructure cope with the needs of so many people?  Where will all the additional traffic flow?  
Where is the space for any expansion? 
This proposal seem to be complete out of line with what was originally proposed, why? It is beginning  to feel as if  
developers have more influence that the population that our town is intended for. 
 
 
Why does Welwyn Garden City need to be overbuilt?  Why can new homes also be built in other far less populated 
areas like Cuffley and  Northaw ? 
Why can we not spread ourselves a little better across the UK and build some new towns where space is available, 
industries can also be attracted to these potentially new towns and hence provide very good living for a lot of 
people, how about another Garden City? 
 
The council must also work closer with the government and be able to influence good decisions. 
This plan should simply be rejected.
