Object to BA10: Lack of detail on proposed uses, traffic, air quality, flood risk
The plan does not define the type of business or employment that the proposed site will support and this opens the possibility of activities and higher private and commercial traffic volume that will be detrimental to Baldock town. Some heavy commercial traffic already uses the town, not the present bypass and there seems to be no way of regulating this. Additional traffic will adversely affect air quality in the town. Additional traffic will exacerbate jams that already occur at peak times at pinch point road junctions. This development may also increase flood risk in Baldock.
