Object to BA1: Scale of BA1 is too large and does not reflect the village characteristics. I can only envisage the development would be seriously detrimental to a significant portion of town's population.
This one development will increase the size of Baldock by approx. 50% and be at the end of town. This will have a significant impact on town's current infrastructure that the proposed plan is vague on. This development will need a dedicated primary school, doctor's surgery, dentist, pharmacist, post office and probably other shops as a minimum. The road connecting the A505 will need to cross the rail line by going under or over it otherwise it will create another bottleneck. Then there is the impact on surrounding roads, rail journey growth.
A&E facilities that all need to facted in. The plan mentions these yet there does not link the required infrastructure changes to the proposed development or how the proposed development will minimise the impact on the current local population.
