Full text:

This proposal will double the size of the town which has inadequate infrastructure to deal with the number of people who currently commute to both London and Cambridge and drive to surrounding areas. Great Northern Rail has only recently announced their intention to reduce the service to the Baldock.
Building works will cause massive disruption to the already choked Station/London Road for months, years resulting in those who have lived in the area for generations looking to relocate.
The building of the proposed number of dwellings will suffocate this town leaving it without it's historic identity and values.
