BA11 Deans Yard, South Road

This development is small and in keeping with developments along South Road all of which have improved the street scene.

This area is currently used by "light industry or commerce" ( a car service business and another similar business). It is valuable to keep small areas of employment scattered throughout the community for two reasons -
1. It maintains the presence of people throughout the working day and thus mitigates the effect of the local residents commuting away to work, leaving the area deserted for much of the time and possibly rendering some forms of crime more likely (e.g. burglary).
2. It may have a beneficial effect on traffic by slightly reducing the flow on the major commuting routes.

New houses are needed but the scale of the Baldock proposal is not sensible
There is an expectation that town can cope with the new properties under BA2, BA3, BA4, BA5 BA6, BA7, BA11 excluding those under BA1 with not support which is incorrect.
There is an expectation that Baldock can just take the 800 additional homes with no impact. Child care, schooling, sports facilities are already under significant strain

This road cannot cope with any more houses. It's an accident waiting to happen
