Full text:

My objection is to the size of development in relation to the size of Baldock. In my view the development contradicts the expressed vision of having new developments that are "well integrated" into existing settlements. The road connection to the historic heart of Baldock is narrow and constricted by the current railway bridge and already struggles to cope with current traffic. The proposed development will further choke roads and parking and in my view will end up as an ugly appendage to a beautiful historic town.
