Object to SP6: Traffic impact of BA1
The already congested A507 into the crossroads at Whitehorse Street/Station road which provides the only vehicular access to the station and is the favoured route by most Sat-Navs for routing traffic to/from the A1 cannot cope with the additional load, which will certainly come from the BA1 development. The proposal of a separate road through the development (13.29) does not guarantee prevention and it would be niave to assume this. To quote from the NHDC Letchworth and Baldock Urban Transport Plan (July 2007) - "Baldock is particularly unsuited to high levels of traffic, especially through the narrowest roads of the historic town centre (e.g. White Horse Street)".
