Object SP14 - BA1:
- Scale of development; Unsustainable, impact on size and character.
- Air quality.
- Limited infrastructure - Baldock's existing utilities, transport networks, schools and service cannot cope with a large scale development
Baldock is one of the most ancient settlements in hertfordshire and this small towns character will be lost if the proposed development is approved. The number of houses planned to be constructed on green belt land is of great concern to local residents who already suffer form congested roads and poor air quality. The air quality of Baldock has been a particular issue for residents as it's location within a valley traps harmful emissions from vehicles. It is not acceptable to add to this issue and a large development will compound this problem. A more sensitive, well planned and ultimately smaller development would be more easily absorbed by the town and would not put Baldock's limited infrastructure under such strain.
