Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

I object to the proposed draft plan. The draft local plan does not represent consistency with government policy. It doesn't provision enough supporting infrastructure or provide enough mitigation to support such a high number of houses in such a small town. It fails to demonstrate flexibility to preserve Green Belt land or provide policies to protect existing estates and infrastructure. Exceptional circumstances have not been demonstrated to constitute changing the greenbelt boundaries in Baldock.

The 'soundness test' on this feedback form is fundamentally flawed. It is not clear if checking the box accepts or rejects the soundness criteria in question.
