To not declare knowledge of planned estate

Selling house. An estate is being planned behind it. I’ve just been putting the legal
pack together and it asks if I have any knowledge of planned development work.

It’s at pre planning stage but is well known. All the neighbours know about it. The neighbours know that I know.

Would I be unreasonable to deny knowledge of it in case it brings the value down? Would it be risky. What would you do?

It asks if you have any knowledge of it, you do. Not saying anything would be lying and surely breach of contract?

On a legal document? I’d tell the truth obviously!
