Object to SP14: Reasonable alternatives not considered, traffic, community infrastructure plan not detailed enough, rail service unable to cope
I object to this large development as I do not feel that investigation into reasonable alternatives have been fully considered or researched.
The increase in traffic specifically on Bygrave Road and the Whitehorse crossroads would be not adequately mitigated by a link road to the A505 Baldock bypass.
I also think that more detailed consideration is required of the supporting infrastructure like schools and GP surgeries. To say "provision will be made" for these is not enough.
There also needs to be significant improvements made to Baldock station and the train service which runs from it (at the current time the operating company is planning to make significant changes to the timetabling of fast trains from Baldock) - with so many more residents potentially using the service this is a big concern.
