I am writing to object to the NHDC Local Plan.
3,500 houses will bring even more congestion and air pollution to Baldock's roads, mostly Station Road/Whitehorse Street/Royston Road & Clothall Road, which are already over used and polluted.
There is also the over crowding off our Doctors Surgery and local schools to consider.
Obviously we do need more houses in Baldock. 500 to 1,000 could be built on the Clothall Common with a link road to the A505 would be ideal to carry traffic away from these busy roads.
