Existing access may be suitable for a small number of dwellings, however it appears to pass through a private dirt road - confirmation of ownership required. No significant congestion in the vicinity of along the nearby A422. The closest bus stop is 550m south of the site, but there are no footpaths to reach it. No footpaths present along Wick End outside the site and no cycle paths in the vicinity. Provide confirmation of access arrangements. Investigation into footway connectivity
no noise concerns whilst near farm there are residentials around
The site has been excluded from further assessment at Stage 1 because its location is not in accordance with the development strategy.

The site is a greenfield area located at the west side of Rookery Road in the village of Wyboston approximately 10 miles north-east of Bedford town centre. The frontage of proposed access is opposite 53 Rookery Road, an adopted and unclassified single carriageway of 30mph. The carriageway width varies but is approximately 5.0m. There is no footway immediately outside the site, however a footway of varying width between 1m – 1.6m is present on the east side of Rookery Road. There is no cycling route in the vicinity, although Rookery Road is very quiet. The closest bus stop is 350m from the site with 112 Ivel Sprinter stopping twice a day heading to St Neots / Biggleswade while the second closest 800m away serves the 905 connecting Bedford and Cambridge approximately twice per hour. The development only proposes residential use. A Transport Assessment would be needed to assess the overall impact of the developments in the area as the cumulative impact could be quite large on the local highway network. Improvement of pedestrian and cycle access would be needed - provision of a pedestrian crossing and designated cycle path.

Development of the site would conflict with the character of the area. There is a distinctive pattern of development along this part of Kimbolton Road of detached properties located at the front of the site and long gardens. Any backland development on this plot would set a precedent for amalgamation of neighbouring sites and erosion of the prevailing grain and character. There is a history of planning refusals on this site. The site is not proposed for allocation.

Please give details here and show access on the site location plan. The site currently has a single- access point onto Northgate Road (as indicated by a blue dot on the location plan). The proposed development would require the widening of the existing entrance to create a dual access point, which will result in the minor removal of bricks from the existing wall. Given that the site enters onto a very straight section of Northgate Road, it is considered that suitable visibility splays can be achieved. Nevertheless, advice from a highway consultant will be sought when required.

We recognise the importance of ensuring that this proposal will assist in meeting the Council’s strategic vision to ensure that such developments address climate change both through adaption and mitigation measures. As a result, the proposal will respond to climate change, in a number of ways, including: • minimising the use of wastewater • incorporating landscaping, including tree planting • meeting energy efficiency targets to achieve at least a 10% reduction in carbon emissions • considering opportunities to integrate solar roof panels. • given that the site is sustainably located within convenient access to local services (such as a public house, village hall, sports club and a church) by foot and cycle

Access using existing single access onto Northill Road, but widened to become a two-way access. Traffic through Cople can be moderate at times, but the size of this development is unlikely to make a significant contribution to that. The number 74 bus to Bedford stops within 250m of the house on a mainly hourly (sometimes half-hourly) basis. There is an adequate pavement along the frontage of the site linking to the village, bus stops, pubs etc. There is no specific cycle connectivity however cycling towards the A421 via Cardington connects to a traffic-free cycle route on the edge of Bedford taking you towards the centre. Better cycle signage directing residents towards the traffic-free cycle path starting on the outskirts of Bedford would be beneficial.

Access to the site is feasible from both Bedford Road and Manor Drive. There are three bus stops close to the site, one outside of the site in the south and the other two in a radius of 150m. The footway in Manor Drrive is around 2m and in Bedford Road around 1.8m. There is no provision for cyclists. A Transport Assessment (TA) will be required to identify the impact of traffic and for satisfactory facilities for both pedestrians and cyclists. Re-design or potential convert to signalise junction of the roundabout Bedford Road/Manor Drive/High Street suggested to mitigate the increase of traffic in the area.

Access onto Carlton Rd. It is not specified where on the frontage the access would be, ideally it should be towards the west of the site where the road visibility is significantly better. Traffic between Felmersham and the A6 can be moderate to busy at times, however 20 homes is unlikely to significantly change this. Bus stops in Felmersham are within 500m and have approx. 1 service per hour each direction (Rushden-Bedford). No pedestrian access and a pavement is not feasible as no other nearby footways to connect to within Felmersham. No specific cycle access but there are lots of quiet roads in the area that could be suitable for cycling, allowing access to local villages. Vehicular access should be towards the west of the northern frontage to provide better visibility at the new junction.

Access from Wilden High St to the South of the site requires some work. The surrounding area has some congestion issues, which manifest during weekly PM peaks, with the location of highest congestion being in front of the site. The closest bus stop is 200m West of the site, offering the non-frequent service of bus route 27. The closest cycle lane is 800m South of the site. The road is narrow, with a footway of width <1m, potential to provide improved footways within the side and a crossing to the existing provision

Access directly onto High Street to the south or via 'Owlswick' to the east, linking to High Street. Via Owlswick would be better as it uses an existing access onto the main road, whereas a new direct access to High Street would likely be too close to the existing access for Owlswick. Wilden does have some moderate traffic around midday, but one additional house would not be expected to affect this. There is a bus stop within 600m with four daily services to Bedford and Great Barford. Pavement exists on High Street with a dropped curb to cross onto Owlswick. Adequate pedestrian access from the village to Owlswick already exists, but a small amount of work would be needed to extend it along Owlswck to the site. There are no nearby cycle routes, but there are several quiet roads which could be used for cycling into Bedford, as well as rights of way which could be used more for leisure. The vehicle access should be via Owlswick onto the High Street rather than directly onto High Street to prevent 2 junctions being too close together.

Access onto Parrott Close. There is relatively high congestion in Oakley so measures to encourage cycle use towards Oakley should be considered. There is a pair of bus stops at the end of Parrott Cl 150m from the site, with the number 51 bus providing a service to Bedford and Oakley every 30 minutes. A new and well-paved pavement leads directly from the site. Whilst a generally well-connected site, cycle connectivity is very poor and there is significant congestion nearby. Encouraging cycling into Oakley by designating the path on Lovell Rd as a cycle/pedestrian path could help solve both problems.
predominant concern is railway noise

Vehicular access will be off New Road which presents no problems. Some moderate traffic in the area along New Road at peak times which could be worsened by the development and neighbouring proposed sites. The nearest bus stop is 400m away where the 27 bus provides 4 daily services to Bedford. However another stop approx 1km away provides a half-hourly service between Bedford and Cambridge. There is currently no pedestrian or cycle connectivity, however a connection to Woodpecker Close could provide this. There is also an access point to the Sandy-Bedford cycle track nearby, accessible via some quiet roads. Include a connection to Woodpecker Close to provide pedestrian and cycle connectivity. Better signpost the route to the nearby access point of the Sandy- Bedford cycle track.

The site location is west from the Home Road and South from the Green End Road in Kempston, around 3 miles south-west of Bedford town centre. Access to the site is feasible from Home Road. Traffic generation from the potential residential development would generate an increase in traffic movements in Home Road, Green End Road, Ridge Road and in junction Home Road/Ridge Road. The closest bust stop is approximately 330m from north the site in Ridge Road. There are no public rights of way or formal cycleways way serving the site. A Transport Assessment (TA) will be required to identify the impact of traffic in Ridge Road as well as in the Home Road/Ridge Road junction. Potential signalisation of the Home Road/Ridge Road give way junction may required. Development of the footway across Home Road in the frontage of the site required as well as creation of a pedestrian access via Ibbett Close.

The site is located on the western side of Home Road at Gibraltar which is in between Kempston Church End and Wootton. The site is approximately 3.2 miles west of Bedford town centre. The proposed development will be accessed via Home Road which has a 30mph speed limit. The proposed access is approximately 225m walking distance from the nearest bus stop on Ridge Road. The footway width is 1.2m with 0.5m verge on the access side of the carriageway for a part of the site and for the rest of the site there is no public rights of way. There is no formal cycleways way serving the site. The proposal would need to ensure a footway is constructed linking the proposed access with the existing footway roughly 20m to the south in order to access public transportation facilities.

The site is located on New Road at Priory Farm approximately 10 miles northwest of Bedford town centre in the Village of Harrold. Two access point are available to the site, one from New Road and one for pedestrians only from the eastern side of the site to the High Street. The surface of this second access would need to be improved as part of the development. No significant congestion issues in the vicinity, however the potential development could have a moderate impact, particularly with the adajcent site 365. The closest bus stop is 100m east of the site in High Street. There are no footways outside the site in New Road, though there are good footways along High Street and cycling is possible by using the road surface. A Transport Assessment will be required to identify the impact on surrounding transport networks, including examining cumulative impacts of this site and the adjacent 365. Improved bus transport service with regular frequency. The proposal will require a road to adoptable standards for both sites in accordance with Bedford Borough Council's highway standards in terms of accommodating the carriageway/footway widths and the required radius kerbs. Consider marking on-street cycle lanes. The proposed pedestrian access should be improved and a minimum of 2.0m in width to link with the existing footway on High Street.

Access to the site is feasible from Bedford Road and High Street road. There is ditch outside of the site and any access to it would need to take this into account. The proposal is not expected to have a significant impact on the overall highway network. However this section of (Old) Bedford Road and the use of the site will be intensified in comparison to existing use. The nearest bus stops with bus shelter present are located on Bedford Road opposite the junction with Park Road approximately 500m from the site. There is, in Bedford Road, a shared footway/cycleway of approximately 1.0-1.4m in width with verges either side of the shared facility. In view of the current national speed limit along (Old) Bedford Road, Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) will apply in respect of determining the visibility splays and the Stopping Sight Distance (SSD). If separate accesses are proposed for each property then as well as the required vehicular sight lines subject of a speed survey, pedestrian visibility splays of 1.8m x 1.8m are also required at the back of the highway boundary on both sides of each access. Bedford Road forms part of the National Cycle Network Route 12 and links with National Cycle Network Route 51 to the south through Great Barford. Hence there is scope to widen the existing 1m shared footway/cycleway along Bedford Road and also outside the site.

The access to the site is proposed between the west side of boundary with no. 15 School Lane and the open space on the west side. The nearest presence of bus stops with bus shelters are located on Bedford Road opposite the junction with Park Road approximately 485m west of the site. The carriageway width of School Lane at this section is approximately 5.6m and immediately outside the site there is a footway of width of 1.8m with grass verges to the east. On the opposite side of site there is also a footway of 1.8m in width. There is no provision for cyclists Although the speed limit on School Lane is 30mph, it is a classified road; therefore the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) will apply in respect of determining the visibility splays and the Stopping Sight Distance (SSD). The proposal will also require a road to adoptable standards in which case the geometry of the design of the road need to be in accordance with Bedford Borough Council’s(BBC’s) highway standards and must be accommodated within the curtilage of the site boundary. The parameters of the adoptable road include widths of carriageway/footways and also radius kerbs of the required junction. There is a scope to introduce a public transport provision for a bus service or an extension to an existing bus service through Park Road and School Lane to ensure that the walking distance to a bus stop is less than 400m in distance. A TA will be required to identify the impact of traffic on the highway and it will introduce improvements for sustainable measures for pedestrians, cyclists and for public transport.

The site is located west of Pavenham Road in the village of Felmersham approximately 7 miles northwest of Bedford town centre and just below the River Great Ouse. Access to the site is feasible from Pavenham Road via an upgrade of the access track. No traffic data in the vicinity however the proposed development is unlikely to cause significant issues. The closest bus stop is on The High Road approximately 300m from the site. There are no footways or cycle paths along the frontage of the site. Cycling is possible only by using Pavenham Road. Pedestrian mitigation likely not feasible given the distance from any other footways and narrowness of Pavenham Road north of the site.

Access directly onto Roxton Road, some moderate traffic in the area at peak times which could be worsened by the development. There are a pair of bus stops within 250m where the 905 bus provides a half-hourly service between Bedford and Cambridge. There is a pavement running along the Roxton Road frontage of the site which can easily provide pedestrian accessibility, there is is a pedestrian crossing on Roxton Rd outside the site. There is a shared pedestrian/cycle path approx 500m further up Roxton Road which forms a route to St Neots - there is also access to the Sandy-Bedford cycle track nearby. Better signpost the route to the nearby access point of the Sandy-Bedford cycle track. Consider extending the shared cycle/pedestrian path on Roxton Rd so that it links with the site.

See also site 530. Access is proposed via Parkside. This should be suitable however it would be best to implement a priority junction for what would then be a spur of Parkside. No significant traffic congestion in the area, and this development is unlikely to have anymore than a moderate impact. There are bus stops approximatly 100m away where the number 50 bus provides a roughly hourly service between Bedford and Rushden. There is a pavement on Parkside which should be continued onto the site, however it currently lacks a dropped kerb at a crossing point. There is a shared cycle/pedestrian path alongside the A6 approx 100m away towards Clapham. Implement a priority junction on Parkside as existing to allow uninterrupted traffic flow between Radwell Road and the site. Continue the existing pavement into the site and include dropped kerbs.

This site is a small part of site 1228. The site is located north of Northampton Road and Grange Lane in the Bromham area approximately 3.5 miles west of Bedford town centre. Access to the site is feasible via Grange Lane without issues. No traffic data available in the immediate vicinity, however the proposal could cause some issues on Grange Lane as well as at the junctions of Northampton Road/Grange Lane and Grange Lane/Springfield Drive. The closest bus stop is 180m east of the site in Springfield Drive and another one 350m west of the site on Northampton Road. Shared cycle path/footway directly from the southwest of the site. Assessment required of the impact of the development on the junctions of Northampton Road/Grange Lane and Grange Lane/Springfield Drive for potential traffic increase.

The site is located on the north side of a road to the west of Colmworth Road, west of the village of Little Staughton approximately 10 miles north of Bedford town centre. The site entrance provides easy access into the development and away from the main house. The Site is fully enclosed and does not obstruct the view from other peoples property or the site lines. The closest bus stop is 450m east of the site on Grays Grove Road. However, there are no footways serving the site or anywhere in the vicinity. Cycling is possible only on-road. Size of development unlikely warrants required footpath mitigation. Consider marking on-street cycle lanes.

The site is located on Mansion Lane approximately 10 miles north-west of Bedford town centre in the Village of Harrold. Two access points are available to the site, one from Mansion Lane and one for pedestrians only from the southwestern corner of the site to the High Street. Mansion Lane access likely to be ok for a small number of homes. No significant congestion issues in the vicinity, however the potential development could have a moderate impact, particularly with the adjacent site 345. The closest bus stop is 100m south of the site in High Street. There are no footways outside the site in Mansion Lane and cycling is possible by using the road surface. A Transport Assessment will be required to examine cumulative impacts of this site and the adjacent 345. Improved bus transport service with regular frequency. Consider marking on-street cycle lanes.

The site can at present only be reached from the A1 Great North Road southbound carriageway. There may be safety concerns regarding the proposed access point onto a busy dual carriageway. There is a Highways England scheme to improve the A428 between Black Cat and Caxton Gibbet that will affect the current site, and it appears future site access will instead be onto a new 'service road' as opposed to directly onto the A1. There appears to be no bus stop facilities in the near vicinity of the site. The site lacks accessibility to footways and there is no provision for cyclists in the immediate vicinity. The roundabout would require traffic modelling with all developments included in order to ascertain whether it has the capacity for further loading of traffic generated by the development. The new adoptable roads must be designed to commercial specification as for an industrial road. There appear to be no bus stop facilities in the near vicinity of the site, however Bedford Road is a bus route and this service should be considered for extension into the site to provide good accessibility for public transport. There is no provision for cyclists, and given the scale of development then consideration for satisfactory facilities for cyclists should be given and identified in the TA, however opportunities may be limited.
road noise from A1
The site is not suitable or available. Much is liable to flooding and the remainder is to be required to enable the Black Cat roadworks.

The site is located at the property no. 127 Cotton End Road (North side) between the junctions of Chapel Lane and Northwood Lane. Cotton End Road is a single carriageway road with footways of approximately 1.2m in width on either side at this location and carriageway width of approximately 5.5m. The existing vehicle access is suitable for up to 5 dwellings. Cotton End Road and the surrounding area have moderate/high traffic congestion during peak hours. The current eastbound and westbound bus service to Wilstead operating Monday to Saturday (exc Bank holidays) is no. 44 by Grant Palmer Limited. In addition, Stagecoach also operates no. 81 between Bedford, Elstow, Clophill, Silsoe, Barton-le-Clay and Luton. There is also limited Sunday service in operation for both services. There is no provision for cyclists, however given the 30mph speed limit and built environment with frontages on-road cycling is possible. The footways on either side of Cotton End Road are 1.2m approximate in width and verge at the rear of footway. This would need to be upgraded to at least 1.8m given that there will be an increase in pedestrian activity.

Similar comments as for site 20. Access via a new access point onto Wood Lane. No traffic congestion in the area. There are bus stops within 300m where the 9A and 9B buses combined give a service to both Bedford and Hitchin approx. every 30 minutes. Both potential access points have adequate pedestrian access. There is a shared pedestrian/cycle path towards Bedford on High Road 200m from the site. Extend the shared cycling/pedestrian path along the pavement on Wood Lane and Manor Way to directly connect to the site. Provide pedestrian access at all proposed access points.

The site is located on the edge of a sustainable settlement, adjacent to a good school, and bus services and facilities within walking distance. Families whose children attend the school but live outside of Wootton, necessitating travel by car, will have an opportunity to relocate closer to the school and allowing for walking. Locating new homes close to facilities means that residents can walk and avoid adding pollution to the air. The developer also commits to providing upgraded bus stops in Wootton which will help make sustainable travel more attractive to use. The proposals of 81 dwellings, represents approximately 50% of the site with the other half remaining undeveloped as part of a ecologically managed area (in perpetuity). The developer commits to providing a significant contribution towards woodland planting as part of the Forest of Marston Vale. In addition, the properties will provide car charging ports to future proof the future of electric car use.

The site is a Greenfield site and located in the village of Wootton approximately 6 miles south-west of Bedford town centre. The sites proposed access is along Hall End Road and is reportedly considered acceptable by BBC highways through application 19/00894/MAO. There is moderate traffic congestion along Hall End Road and the development could worsen this. The nearest bus stop is located 550m away on Cause End Road. Acceptable footway is located on the opposite side of Hall End Road and it is also considered a bicycle friendly route. Provide crossing to the footway on the opposite side of Hall End Road. A Transport Assessment would be required to assess the impact of this scale of development on the local highway network.

The developer proposes a new access cul-de-sac and a shared access drive from Wick End, which is very narrow and with no footways - however, vehicle access appears feasible. No traffic congestion along the A422 in the vicinity of the site and the scale of development is unlikely to have an impact. The closest bus stop is just outside the site with hourly services for routes 41 and 830. There is a footway present outside the site, however this requires partial clearing. Nearest segregated cycle path is 500m to the northeast. A secondary pedestrian access should be provided on the Bedford Road perimeter, where there is an existing footway. This footway should be cleared to ensure it is the required width. Provide on street signed connectivity to existing segregated cycle path.

The site is currently likely greenfield as is much of the surrounding area. The development only proposes residential use. 4 access points are indicated, onto Colesden Road, which is a narrow two-way single carriageway with 40 mph speed limit. There are no footpaths or cycle paths along the road and no opportunities to connect to other footpaths nearby. The closest bus stop is on Colesdon Road with the 112 running twice per day. There is no potential to link to other footpaths in the surrounding area likely to be feasible, given the scale of the proposed development. Cycle connectivity to Colesdon Rd which is classed as cycle friendly suggested.

The proposed site will have low levels of pollutants in the soil, air or water as it has been used for organic grazing. Because we are proposing a low number of houses for the site, there is plenty of space to mitigate any potential noise. There is no significant noise or light pollution in the local area from industry or housing in the village. The land is south facing and on a slope, which means that drainage is excellent and there is no record of the land flooding. The proposed site is stable and there has never been a record of earth movement. South facing hosuing would allow any houses to take advantage of effective solar energy. The land does not have listed buildings, trees or boundaries. The hedges around the field have been allowed to grow and our proposal would be to conserve as much of this as possible. Housing on the site would look out over fields. There is a public footpath over adjacent land owned by the landowners and access to this and other land from the proposed site could be negotiated for those living in the proposed housing.

The site is located on the south side of Thurleigh Road in the village of Milton Ernest approximately 5 miles north of Bedford town centre. Access to the site is feasible from the northeast corner of the site from Thurleigh Road. There is no significant traffic in the area. The closest bus stop is 650m west from the site on Rushden Road. There are six bus routes in the area, 22, 50, 825, 828, 830 and VL14. There is no footway serving the site and cycling is possible only on-road. A Transport Assessment would be required to identify the impact of traffic in the network and satisfactory facilities for both pedestrians and cyclists. Consider marking on-street cycle lanes.

The site is within walking distance to local amenities, (shops, pubs, church and a local primary school). The site is also directly on a main bus route, with regular buses to Bedford town center. Any development would be completed to the highest energy efficient standards, including use of both renewables and structural insulation.

Access will be as existing, however for this size of development it will need to be widened and paved. Little traffic in the area and a development of this size is likely to make a difference, however in conjunction with other neighbouring ones may contribute to congestion. There is a bus stop 50m away where the number 50 bus provides an hourly service to Bedford. There is a pavement directly outside the site. There is no cycle connectivity however the pavement on Milton Road is wide and well paved so could easily become a shared path. A Transport Assessment is required to assess cumulative impacts of this site and others proposed in the vicinity. Widen existing access point to make it more suitable for a development of this size. Suggest upgrading the pavement on Milton Road to a shared path.
