There is an expectation that town can cope with the new properties under BA2, BA3, BA4, BA5 BA6, BA7, BA11 excluding those under BA1 with not support which is incorrect.
There is an expectation that Baldock can just take the 800 additional homes with no impact. Child care, schooling, sports facilities are already under significant strain with both Hartsfield and Knights Templar dropping an Ofsted rating at the last review. If anyone went to see the schools you can see how they are struggling to cope with number of pupils and additional class sizes and have no space.
