Representation Summary:

Overall I agree with the proposal of new housing as I do appreciate that every area across the country need to contribute to the needed increase in housing HOWEVER the proposed infrastructure is insufficient.

I support and object to the Baldock housing project. I understand that everywhere needs more housing and we can't be immune BUT it is nonsense to create another town that is almost the same number of dwellings that are currently in Baldock! The proposed infrastructure is insufficient and considering that the majority of houses will go to commuters it is crazy that there is even thinking around reducing the current "fast" train service to London.

I'm all of sensible development but Baldock is a small town with sufficient amenities for the community and there is a real community feel which I'm sure would be lost with an influx of c3000 new homes.

Plus the roads are busy enough around here with the connections to the A505 and A1 and Baldock would suffer a real strain with additional traffic.
