Representation Summary:

Object to SP14: The town cannot cope with the influx in population such a large development would bring, public transport, traffic, highway safety, impact on character of town, education provision

Full text:

The public transport network would not be able to cope with the increase in population that would result from development of this scale in what is an historic market town. Whilst building a bypass road from the proposed site around Baldock will result in a lot of traffic using it rather than driving through the town, all the residents of the town would be more than likely to go into the town centre for their shopping and local facilities. There are queues to the crossroads with the A507 and Whitehorse Street most times of the day. The junction is already an accident blackspot. The very nature of the town will be destroyed by such a large scale development. Knights Templar School is one of the most sought after schools in the area. It does not have the facility/room to expand any further.
