I believe 'SP6: Sustainable Transport' is unsound in relation to Baldock, notably 'Policy SP14: Site BA1 - North of Baldock'. I don't believe it has been 'positively prepared', will not be 'effective', and is not consistent with national policy (National Planning Policy Framework 'Promoting sustainable transport'). Of greatest concern is the dramatic increase in traffic on roads leading to the Whitehorse Street intersection & traffic lights, an obvious pinch point within Baldock. North Road (A507), for example, already suffers from very significant congestion.
