Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft
Baldock
Representation ID: 342
Received: 14/11/2016
Respondent: Leighton Davis
Legally compliant? Not specified
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
Object to the level of development in Baldock based on: Traffic, rail capacity, locations closer to London, loss of community spirit.
I wanted to take the time to write to you in hope that my voice will be heard.
I am a Baldock resident and I am sure you will have heard a lot from us in recent months.
My plea is simple, please reduce your plans. I have read through the detail and understand that people need a place to live and the area needs to be kept affordable.
That said, what happens to the items below:
* A1 - Cannot sustain any more traffic, even if extended. 15 miles takes 45-60 minutes at present.
* Whitehorse Street Crossroads (A507) - Traffic is always backed up and a link road will not take the load off.
* Possible reduction in rail service.
* Locations further south have been ignored - Hertford? Hoddesdon? Both have better infrastructure.
Even without the concerns above, what happens to Baldock? We live here to enjoy the community spirit of a place that pulls together. Extending it will not add to the community in anything other than numbers.
Thank you for reading my message and I hope you hear our voice.
