Baldock sits in a valley and its physical character inhibits the good dispersal of air pollutants. I am greatly concerned that the dramatic increase in dwellings and therefore cars will lead to a significant degradation in air quality. Many of the worst congested roads in Baldock (North Road, Whitehorse Street, Hitchin Street) are popular routes for children to walk to and from schools. I believe the proposal to be unsound as it is not consistent with national policy (National Planning Policy Framework 'Promoting healthy communities').
