There is no mention of providing additional schools and doctors services - the current surgery already has a 2 week wait for appointments.

Baldock's schools are oversubscribed, with many children having to travel out to village schools. This proposal would fill another classroom, which does not exist.

The increased traffic would put further pressure on already congested junctions such as the A505/A507 crossroads.

All construction traffic for the development would need to go through the town causing air quality, noise and congestion issues.
