Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

There is no mention of providing additional schools and doctors services - the current surgery already has a 2 week wait for appointments.

Baldock's schools are oversubscribed, with many children having to travel out to village schools. This proposal would fill another classroom, which does not exist.

The increased traffic would put further pressure on already congested junctions such as the A505/A507 crossroads.

All construction traffic for the development would need to go through the town causing air quality, noise and congestion issues.

Baldock's roads cannot cope with the increased traffic. The station crossroad has long tailbacks and cannot be widened as it is surrounded by listed buildings.

I don't object to some more houses, but an 80% increase in the town size is unworkable and will negatively impact the character of a historic market town.

Air quality will be significantly reduced within the town following increased
traffic of at least 5000 cars on the roads.

All construction traffic for the further development would need to go through the
town. As such, the additional infrastructure (specifically the link road) must be developed first.
