* Disproportionate development for the current size of Baldock.
* Insufficient infrastructure
* Brownfield sites should be developed before using Green Belt
* Congestion on the A1M is already extremely bad for commuters without adding more users
The number of houses proposed on this site is far too many for the infrastructure to support and almost doubles the size of Baldock. It would therefore change the nature of this historic and Georgian town. Road congestion is already a problem going south with long delays already occurring on the A1M to Stevenage and the South. The Plan in no way reduces the problem. The train service for Baldock is being reduced making commuting even more difficult for the existing residents let along thousands more! It is a disproportionate development for the size of the existing town.
