I strongly object to the Proposed Submission Local Plan 2011-2031.
The quantity of houses proposed is way to many, Baldock has taken 1000 years to get to it's current size to double it in 20 years puts a strain on the town that diminishes life in this old market town.
There is not the work here for that number of new people proposed. You are building houses for commuters with no additional infrastructure for travel. Better build houses where there are jobs.
The current traffic congestion in Baldock is currently significant, particularly at the White Horse Junction, additional vehicles from the proposed houses to the North of Baldock are not given sufficient consideration in the plan and will create serious problems.
I am greatly distressed at this carbuncle of a plan which no one locally wants.
I am further distressed that I feel I am wasting my time writing this email as I suspect the objections will be over ridden by outside influences ie people who do not live in the town, that is not right, fair or democratic.
