Object to SP14 - BA1:
- The plan will make change the town significantly. It will make living in town less pleasant with traffic and overcrowding of facilities and infrastructure.
- Scale of development
- Community infrastructure
The traffic which will be generated by the plan will make the already problematic and congested traffic lights in Whitehorse Street impossible. Clearly this is not a sustainable. The plan will almost double the number of homes in Baldock and will make the town lose it vitality as a market town and its individuality. The plan will mean that the additional homes will have to be provided with their own schools, shops, community centre etc as the present ones have no capacity for this many new people. 3290 is a disproportionate amount of housing to expect Baldock to take, in comparison to the rest of the district and County.
