The proposed development would impact the village significantly coming as it does along with other newly developed sights in the parish. The village school is over-subscribed and the roads in and around the village are very busy. The railway station closest to the development site is Baldock which is already a busy station with the train operator planning to cut services. Not to mention the proposal to build 2800 houses in effect a whole new town just a few miles away near Bygrave. This is all going to put untold pressure on the local area.
