The Blackhorse farm site north of Baldock is situated on green belt land that has been placed to stop urban sprawl (NPPF Para 80), however this site is a classic example of urban sprawl & exactly why the greenbelt act was enacted. NHDC have rode roughshod over this policy and have ignored brownfield sites that do fit the criteria. probably due to political pressure from the landlords of the Blackhorse farm site who happen to be Herts County Council. This is the type of activity that gives government a bad name.
