Size of development will exacerbate severe traffic problems at traffic light controlled pinch points in Baldock and residents will drive through Baldock as a short cut.
Increased traffic will adversely affect air quality.
Proposed development is on large area of higher ground that the town centre and this area acts as a large natural soak away for water. After roads have been laid and buildings have been erected this development will simply funnel rainwater to lower lying ground and increase risk of flooding in Baldock town, particularly areas such as Whitehorse Street.
