Full text:

Unreasonable for Baldock to be increased by 80% when it's the smallest town, inequitable to accept 23% of total housing requirement for district.
Traffic congestion: A507 currently heavily congested at peak times, additional traffic from site BA1 will significantly increase air pollution, congestion & delays.
Infrastructure: Water-board unable to guarantee adequate water supply for 2,800 homes. Rail services: fast train service to London to be cut in 2018, inadequate capacity of station for increased commuter numbers. No guarantee re: schools, GP surgery, being established as development progresses, no capacity for more pupils/patients in Baldock.
Rural community needs green belt land.
