Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

Upon the need for more homes in North Hertfordshire I cannot disagree with the site to the North of Baldock. What I am concerned about is the transport network. After approaching the County council about this fact and being willing to talk to them with regards to using our family farms which cover Bygrave area but also the land running from the county councils land up to the service station at J10, we have had no come back from them regarding this.
As the vice Chairman of Bygrave parish council, as a village we are very concerned about the ability to get into baldock because of the railway bridge area, also If there is a new link from the Bygrave road over the railway line to the A505 the fear is that Bygrave will become a rat run for Ashwell. For Ashwell residents to go down the A1m they either have to cross the A505 at Ashwell station or Slip end. Both places on the A505 have had fatal accidents therefore the option to run through a village to via a junction on the A505 would be a good option for them.
The other issue for Bygrave is the view from Bygrave to Baldock and we hope there will be landscaping to keep the village feel.

Please can you have a look at these major points.
Please can I be offered a place at the public hearing
