-In paragraph 9.28, the plan notes that air quality standards are already close to being exceeded in Whitehorse Street/Hitchin Street. The Housing and Green Belt Background paper notes that former site 209E (Prioroy fields in HItchin) considered unsuitable for the same reason
-Baldock at high risk of exceeding air quality standards,located in a bowl,pollution can nest
-impact of the size of development in the town not been properly assessed
