Object to SP14: BA1 on the grounds of:

Full text:

The green belt land around Baldock Green Belt serves critical purposes:
● to assist in safeguarding the countryside from encroachment and;
● to preserve the setting and special character of historic towns

I am concerned that the Local Plan does not regard the construction of new buildings as
inappropriate in Green Belt as clearly set out in the NPPF
