I believe 'SP6: Sustainable Transport' is unsound in relation to Baldock, notably 'Policy SP14: Site BA1 - North of Baldock'. I don't believe it has been 'positively prepared', will not be 'effective', and is not consistent with national policy (National Planning Policy Framework 'Promoting sustainable transport'). Of greatest concern is the dramatic increase in traffic on roads leading to the Whitehorse Street intersection & traffic lights, an obvious pinch point within Baldock. North Road (A507), for example, already suffers from very significant congestion.

I believe the use of Green Belt land for proposed Baldock developments, notably 'Policy SP14: Site BA1 - North of Baldock' is unsound as it is not consistent with national policy (National Planning Policy Framework 'Protecting Green Belt land' and 'Conserving and enhancing the natural environment'). I can see no evidence of 'exceptional circumstances' for losing this Green Belt land, only that it is a convenient and easy option as Hertfordshire County Council are willing to sell the land.

Baldock sits in a valley and its physical character inhibits the good dispersal of air pollutants. I am greatly concerned that the dramatic increase in dwellings and therefore cars will lead to a significant degradation in air quality. Many of the worst congested roads in Baldock (North Road, Whitehorse Street, Hitchin Street) are popular routes for children to walk to and from schools. I believe the proposal to be unsound as it is not consistent with national policy (National Planning Policy Framework 'Promoting healthy communities').
