This small piece of land has been left undeveloped since the Clothall Common development was completed in 1990s.

It is situated adjacent to Hartsfield JMI school and is an area of open space that separates the school from the road and is used as a recreational space by walkers, children and dog walkers with public footpaths bounding it and in relation to the number of proposed dwellings that proposed elsewhere in Baldock it would seem appropriate that it is left as an open space particularly as open space is being lost elsewhere on the estate with the proposed 400 additional houses.
