2) Baldock has a history of bad air quality which was reduced with the development of the bypass. Referring to Policy D4 and specifically 9.28, with a development the size of BA1, this is going to have a significant impact on air quality, even if you assumed an average of one car per household, that's the additional emmissions of 3290 cars being injected into a small town alone, let alone all the other forms of emissions/pollution that will be generated during & post the development. As well as the obvious health concerns, pollutants can cause damage to historic buildings which are plentiful in Baldock, especially within the Conservation area. Based on this policy alone, BA1 should be rejected and therefore plan is UNJUSTIFIED and NOT EFFECTIVE
