Proposed Main Modifications

I am writing to you to strongly object to the modification of the local plan of housing for Baldock and oppose the plan. I strongly object to BA4 being built and the fact that you have now joined BA3 to BA4 and want to build on the raised land next to Clothall Common is disgraceful. This land is used daily by a large number of people for recreation and provides a beautiful view of Baldock and the surrounding countryside quite frankly helping with physical and mental health of local residents and I think it's disgusting you want to destroy this view/recreational land and habitat for wildlife just to build houses that aren't needed or wanted.

Please don't destroy a vibrant community and small town of Baldock - there are very few places like this left in South England.

May I remind you that you state in your schedule of modifications you will:

"Protect key elements of North Hertfordshire's environment including
biodiversity, important landscapes, heritage assets and green
infrastructure (including the water environment)"

By building on BA4 and proposing to join houses around Clothall Common to BA3 this does not abide by the above statement. It might not be an important landscape to you but it is to the local residents and moreover to drainage and managing surface water levels in the area with the drainage systems in place - further houses will potentially make this problem worse.

Thank you for taking the time to read this email and I sincerely hope you will change your modification and furthermore remove the proposed development at BA4.
