I write to voice my objection concerning the planned large scale building development in Baldock.

Whilst most people accept more houses are required in North Herts, the plan is completely imbalanced with Baldock seemingly having to take much more than its fair share of planned development.

In addition to the obvious change of character of the town which will take place, there are several practical reasons why this plan is ill conceived.

Primarily, there is a major infrastructure issue , ie the roads, schools & health centre will simply not be able to cope. In addition, the railway is in plans to reduce its fast train service to London.

With regards to BA2 near to where I live there are environmental issues ie the nature reserve at Weston Hills & safety issues concerning the road to Buntingford.
