Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft
Policy SP14: Site BA1 - North of Baldock
Representation ID: 1112
Received: 28/11/2016
Respondent: Mr Richard Kingsbury
Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? Yes
Duty to co-operate? No
Object to BA1 on the grounds of:
- disproportionate allocation to the size of Baldock
- integration with existing settlement
- traffic and highway concerns
- parking
- historic town
My objection is to the size of development in relation to the size of Baldock. In my view the development contradicts the expressed vision of having new developments that are "well integrated" into existing settlements. The road connection to the historic heart of Baldock is narrow and constricted by the current railway bridge and already struggles to cope with current traffic. The proposed development will further choke roads and parking and in my view will end up as an ugly appendage to a beautiful historic town.
