This plan does not support promote the development and diversification of agricultural and other land-based rural businesses since the proposed housing is on existing farmland.
It is inequitable that Baldock town is to be increased by 80% where as other
Hertfordshire towns are expanding by only 10 - 20% and yet Baldock is one of the smaller towns thus less able to cope with the size of development suggested.
Air quality will be significantly reduced within the town .No mention of tree planting to improve the air quality issue, or % of green space planned to aid surface water drainage.
