Representation Summary:

Object to BA2: Infrastructure (schools, GPs), traffic, impact of construction traffic (air quality, noise, congestion)

Full text:

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.
