I cannot see how this local plan takes into the account the rural character of Baldock when the increase in housing will support the thriving rural community of Baldock nor protect the Green Belt, especially when the propsoed housing is planned for existing farmland

I refer the inspector to the NPPF bullet 21 where local plan needs to take account of the different roles and character of different areas,
promoting the vitality of our main urban areas, protecting the Green Belts
around them, recognising the intrinsic character and beauty of the
countryside and supporting thriving rural communities within it
