Is it right and fair to remove so much green belt from around Baldock? Effectively Bygrave will become part of Baldock once the development has been fully completed in 2031. When we bought our property it was because we wanted to live in a village environment which these changes will have a detrimental effect upon. Again we feel that not enough consideration has been given to brown field sites at the expense of green belt that was owned by NHDC and was therefore an "easy option" rather than considering other alternatives eg the area West of Stevenage.
