2,800 homes is way too many
1) Baldock has a thriving community and 2800 homes is too many to integrate into the community successfully
2)I have severe concerns that the infrastructure plans are insufficient, particularly rail, road and schooling. Eg Govia is proposing reduced train services in its current consultation
3) It is not clear how the infrastructure plans will be funded to make sure infrastructure is in place before the homes are built
4) This will result in significant air pollution due to many more cars on the road
