Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

Once again we , Baldock Residents are asked to submit our thoughts on the proposed housing development using rural, green belt land. Didn't we reject it first time round? Interestingly and allegedly, I believe H.C.C owned the land and wanted to sell so developers have ignored other more suitable sites. There is usually money involved somewhere! Surprise ,surprise.
The fact that there us no advantage to Baldock to having this proposed urban sprawl, i.e this will worsen the following : poor water supply, loss of supposed, protected , green belt land, inadequate, basic, over subscribed amenities like schools, doctor surgeries etc, traffic congestion, small railway station with tiny parking area and congested location for joining town traffic at busy times and a heavily ,congested Great North Road not to mention potential , pollution problems. (Yes, I am aware proposals are under way to stop quick rail services to London from Baldock, interesting timing?) Who will afford all of these houses, probably mostly London commuters? Baldock is a historic, market town and tiny at that, how can you possibly be considering such a madcap , housing plan of up to 3000 houses?
I rest my case. But you are not going to listen to our views are you? Just going through the motions of this supposed Consultation, who are you kidding? Prove me wrong and end this now.
