I believe the use of Green Belt land for proposed Baldock developments, notably 'Policy SP14: Site BA1 - North of Baldock' is unsound as it is not consistent with national policy (National Planning Policy Framework 'Protecting Green Belt land' and 'Conserving and enhancing the natural environment'). I can see no evidence of 'exceptional circumstances' for losing this Green Belt land, only that it is a convenient and easy option as Hertfordshire County Council are willing to sell the land.
