Access from Duloe Road frontage of both site parcels. The 29 bus service running once a day serves the site, located just east or west of the site on Duloe Rd. The site has no footways or cycle connections, however the road is relatively straight to the east and provides a link into Eaton Ford. Traffic data indicates there may be some issues with the numbers of vehicles associated with this new development running along Duloe Road. The road is signed as unsuitable for HGVs. Potential upgrades may be required to Duloe Road, given the size of the development and the existing ban on HGVs. Implementing a footway and or installing passing places for vehicles is advised. Check highway ownership. Location/distance signage for cyclists.

Larger version of site 751/19. 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 from Northampton Road. Footways serve the site but are overgrown and need improvements, including a shared cycle and footway opposite the site. Bus stops in close proximity with the 25 providing an hourly service between Bedford and Great Denham. Some congestion within Bromham but scale of development would not exacerbate significantly. Clear footway on southern side of Northampton Road or provide crossing to northern footway which is in better condition. Upgrade of the bus facilities outside of the site. Potential marking on-street cycle lanes.

The site is located west of Keysoe Row E in Keysoe Village approximately 9.5 miles north of Bedford town centre. Access to the site is feasible off Keysoe Row E, which is a 30mph speed limit road.There is no traffic data available for Keysoe Row E however nearby roads do not appear to have significant congestion. The closest bus stop is located 950m southwest of the site on Kimbolton Road. There is a green verge in the frontage of the site, but there is not a concrete footway and no other footways in the vicinity. Cycling is feasible only along the road, with connections possible to other cycle-friendly roads in the vicinity. Footway connectivity not feasible given the scale of the development and the distance from other footways. Improved bus service with a closer bus stop, regular frequency and Real-Time information needed.

The site is located on the east side of The Butts road in the village of Riseley, approximately 10.0 miles north of Bedford town centre. The site vehicular access is proposed off The Butts, which is a national speed limit road, just south of the property no. 21. The nearest bus stop is located approximately 450m east from the site entrance on High Street. No footways serve the site directly but pedestrian access can be achieved from College Dr. Cycling is feasible on-road. The proposal would require a road to adoptaed standards in which case the geometry of the design of the road need to be in accordance with Bedford Borough Council’s (BBC) highway standards. A comprehensive scheme can be implemented to include widening of the carriageway, provision of at least 2m footways and safe pedestrian crossing points and subject to reduction of the speed limit on The Butts being approved by BBC. Improve pedestrain access routes from College Drive with lighting and signage.

Houses would be built to the highest sustainable standards and where feasible would be connected to renewable sources such as solar roof for heating water and electricity. The site is within a vibrant village and would provide people with the opportunity to walk to local facilities such as schools and shops. The site could connect to the existing footpath and could provide land to extend the footpath further to the north (off road).

The site is located on the east side of Wood Road and Orchard Lane in the village of Harrold approximately 9 miles north-west of Bedford town centre. The proposed point of vehicular access off Wood Road is indicated to be opposite of properties no’s 21/23. The traffic in the vicinity and at the junction of Orchard Lane/High Street is not significant without the development, though the development may have a moderate impact. The nearest bus stop facilities are located on High Street approximately 560m in distance from the site. There is an adequate footway from the southwesterly corner of the site on Orchard Lane. There is no formal cycle track outside the site however cycling is possible using the road surface. The scale of development would require a Transport Assessment which will need to assess the impact on surrounding transport networks including the junction of Orchard Lane with High Street. Consider marking on street cycle lanes and increasing bus service frequency.

? Potential access requiring mitigation

x Serious capacity constraint

Access would be on Ford Lane, a single track road with a verge and level differences. Single track road with no passing places along the site frontage, would impact on walking and cycling. The 905 bus stops approx 1km from the site and runs twice an hour. There is no footpath, however the site is within 300m of the start of an off-road cycle route to Great Barford along the River Great Ouse. Paved shared footway routes are available alongside Bedford Rd providing routes to Great Barford town centre and north to Roxton Garden Centre. There could possibly be space for a footway on Ford Lane connecting the site to the existing footway 120m away. This would however come at a cost, may require land acquisition, would mean that the road is still only single track, and not improve cycle connectivity.

Early commencement envisaged during 2024 subject to working with the Parish Council to ensure provision is consistent with housing needs.

New homes should be built to be low-carbon, energy and water efficient, and climate resilient. There is a commitment to get the design right from the outset to avoid the need for costly retrofitting. Consideration will be given to providing heating using low-carbon energy sources, with high levels of energy efficiency alongside appropriate ventilation. There will be a decent focus on ambitious water efficiency, property-level flood protection, green spaces (for example, trees, vegetation on roofs, sustainable drainage systems) and adequate provision will be made for pedestrians, cyclists, public transport users and electric vehicle owners. The prospect exists of providing genuinely green self-build housing that will be recognised for their low carbon credentials across the Borough.

The site is located on the east side of Silver Street in the village of Stevington, approximately 5.8 miles northwest of Bedford town centre. The proposed access is to the north of the site, a short distance from the entrance to Dane Hill Farm (on the opposite side of the road), which seems acceptable. No significant traffic congestion in the vicinity. The closest bus stop is located 1.2km northeast of the site on Park Road. There are neither footways in the vincinity of the site, nor formal cycle tracks. Cycling is possible using quiet roads in the vicinity. No footpaths in the vicinity and construction along Silver St to Stevington not feasible for this number of homes. If this were to be mitigated, extension of bus route 25 and a new bus stop close to the site would be necessary.

There is no specific proposal at the moment however the proposed scheme would comply with the sustainability requirements of the adopted policy which would include seeking to minimise the emission of greenhouse gasses and pollution whilst maximising water and energy efficiency. Due to the size of the parcel of land, in living memory it has only ever been used as rough grazing, it is therefore estimated to be Grade 5 agricultural land. There are no veteran trees in the hedgerow surrounding or within the plot.

The site is located close to the junction of A6/The Avenue in the village of Bletsoe and lies approximately 8 miles north of Bedford town centre. Access on the site is feasible from The Avenue. There is minimal traffic in the vicinity and the proposed development would likely not cause any issues on The Avenue or at the junction of A6/The Avenue. The closest bus stop is approx 100m from the site on the A6. The footway on the other side of The Avenue is around 2m outside of the site. There are no formal cycleways serving the site, however cycling is possible by using the quiet roads in the vicinity. Consider marking on-street cycle lanes on The Avenue. Provide pedestrian crossing to footway on the opposite side of The Avenue and at the junction of The Avenue with A6 to facilitate safe access to the bus stops. Improved bus service with regular frequency and Real-Time information.

The site is located on the edge of a sustainable settlement. The site is located entirely within Flood Zone 1 - lowest risk. Schools, bus stops and other services and facilities are located within walking distance reducing the need to travel by car and thus reducing greenhouse gases. Properties will be built to a high quality standard including excellent energy performance. Properties will include vehicle electric charging points to future proof the move towards less polluting forms of private travel. Potential off-site improvements would include upgrading existing bus stops to make them more attractive to use. The development would include new tree planting and open spaces alongside ecological improvements to ensure a net biodiversity gain.

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

Potential access as a new arm to the roundabout on Lovell Rd. There is some congestion in and around Oakley but the site is in a good location for PT and walking. There is a bus service to Bedford every 30 minutes within 150m of the site (number 51 bus) and a good pavement with zebra crossing directly outside the site. No cycle connectivity but redesignating wider pavements in the area as cycle/pedestrians paths could improve this. Heavy traffic in the area means that more should be done to encourage other forms of transport. Upgrading some pavements in the area to cycle/pedestrian paths will encourage greater cycling, particuarly along Lovell Rd and Station Rd.

The approaches proposed in response to the demands of climate change are described under each of the specific policies below:- Policy 51S: Climate change strategic approach General observations: The methods and technologies selected meet best practice as a minimum and have been specifically aligned to respect constraints of the sites history. The previous owners sold-off paddock turf and top soil for use in housing in Buckinghamshire. Former owners then used area for goats and exercising their breeding and exhibition dogs. Consider the land to be Grade 4 and of a size difficult to farm effectively. The existing trees and hedgerows will be maintained. The site will be enhanced and managed to give linking corridors to an existing pond and surrounding wildlife spaces. Our past activities have lent support to threatened species including migrating turtle doves. Further selective native planting will enhance the biodiversity of the site. Policy 52: Water demand Restrict water use to less than 110 litres per person per day in line with Building Regulations. Collect grey, rain and surface waters where possible and use to replace fresh water wherever possible. Employ on-site sewage treatment Policy 53: Development and accessibility Convenient foot and cycle access exists to Brown’s Gift and Farm shop in Stagsden and onward to Bromham for GP Surgery, Post Office, Library and additional shops. These centres also provide public transport connections for easy travel to the major town centres of Bedford, Northampton, Milton Keynes and beyond. Top of Stagsden West End Lane meets A422 with its major public transport links to Oxford and Cambridge soon to be enhanced with railway link from Bedford. Any wider personal mobility needs will be met by shared electric transport, and use of taxi from company already in Stagsden West End. High-speed broadband will continue to meet wider communication needs e.g. health care, social interaction and provide for shopping on-line as required. The design layout planned, will employ the dwellings form and fabric to promote residents’ health and well-being. The design layout will provide high comfort levels and good daylight by maximising the benefits available from natural ventilation and solar gain whilst avoiding over-heating. Policy 54: Energy efficiency The dwellings’ designs and utilisation will employ a holistic range of proven methodologies to achieve better than the 19% reduction below the Building Regulations requirement. Site orientation and design layouts will maximise the availability of useful solar gain. Form, fabric and air-tightness will be used to minimise the demand for applied energy. The use of high efficiency building services employing heat recovery, underfloor heating, smart controls will make efficient use of the energy consumed. On-site renewable energy systems (solar PV and wind turbines with battery storage) and integrated heat pumps will minimise the use of carbon fuels. Effective daylight use will maximised and supplemented by high efficiency LEDs where necessary. Energy to provide for hot water use will be minimised by utilising water efficient (and where appropriate low temperature) appliances. Household appliances will be AA or above rated.

The site is located on the edge of a sustainable settlement and has been allocated in a latest draft version of Willington Neighbourhood Plan. The site is located entirely within Flood Zone 1 - lowest risk. Schools, bus stops and other services and facilities are located within walking distance reducing the need to travel by car and thus reducing greenhouse gases. Properties will be built to a high quality standard including excellent energy performance. Properties will include vehicle electric charging points to future proof the move towards less polluting forms of private travel. Potential off-site improvements would include upgrading existing bus stops to make them more attractive to use. The development would include new tree planting, a boulevard along Sandy Road, and open spaces alongside ecological improvements to ensure a net biodiversity gain. The development will also incorporate a 'woodland walk' adjacent to Wood Lane.

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

Access would be off Sandy Road. The development will likely increase traffic congestion past the numerous junctions with Wood Lane/Barford Road/Bedford Road/Station Road and hence make either entering or leaving these junctions more difficult. The nearest bus stops are located on Bedford Road and Station Road both approximately 300m west of the site. There is a footway of approximate width of 1.0m with a verge of 1.0m opposite the site along Sandy Road. Barford Road from the west of the junction with Wood Lane is part of the Thatcher’s Way cycle route. A Transport Statement will be required to identify the impact of development on the highway with mitigation measures, focussing on the safety impact on nearby junctions. Footways along Sandy Road should be widened and a crossing provided. On street cycle connectivity could be marked along Sandy Road to connect to the Thatcher's Way cycle route.

This proposal would adhere to all policies relating to sustainable construction at the time of the application and the relevant building regulations at the time of construction. Given the early stages of this proposal, it is premature to set out a specific approach this proposal would take to respond to climate change at this point, however given the importance of climate change the landowner is committed to ensuring any future proposal on this site generates as minimal impact as possible on the environment. Measures to therefore respond to the climate emergency would therefore be reviewed if the site was allocated for development.

Access directly onto Manton Lane. There is moderate traffic in the area and the size of this development could cause a small increase in congestion. The nearest bus stops are 900m away where the number 6 bus provides five services per hour between Bedford and Brickhill. There is a pavement on Manton Lane however it requires crossing the road to access it from the site. There is no specific cycle connectivity however there are some quiet roads nearby that can be used for cycle access. Create a clearly marked crossing point for pedestrians on Manton Lane to connect the site to the existing pavement on the opposite of Manton Lane.

Likely to require contaminated land assessment and remediation if required.

aircraft research association and other industrial units in vicinity could result in unnacceptable noise levels

Site does not fall within the boundary of a MSA.

The site is within the urban area and is suitable for allocation for industrial, warehousing and distribution uses. The site will extend the existing employment area at Manton Lane and proposes uses which are compatible with the urban location. Development of the site should take into account that it is elevated so building heights should be limited. A transport assessment will be required to ensure connectivity and parking issues and access to strategic transport routes are appropriately considered. Site is proposed for allocation EMP2 Former playing field, ARA Manton Lane, Bedford.

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

The current access point is very overgrown with tall trees and is therefore not easily visible from the road (Church Lane). There is significant traffic in the area but good PT and pedestrian connections could improve could help mitigate impact from the site. There is a bus service to Bedford every 30 minutes within 150m (number 51 bus) and a pavement on Church Ln opposite the site. Improving cycle connectivity in the area could help reduce the congestion seen. On other roads in Oakley where the pavements are wider it may be possible to change some to cycle/pedestrian paths in aid of this. For this location specifically, a clearly marked crossing point for pedestrians would be beneficial to connect the site to the existing pavement.

A new access point would be needed on Little Staughton Road, including removal of the hedge around the new junction to improve visibility. There is no significant traffic congestion in the area. There are bus stops 100m away with approximately 5 services per day to Bedford. There is a narrow pavement on the opposite side of Little Staughton Road, which can possibly be accessed without a crossing as the road looks quiet. There is no specific cycle connectivity however there are many quiet roads in the area which could be used for cycling. Consider putting in a pedestrian crossing on Little Staughton Road if the development is more than a couple of houses and widening footpath on opposite side of the road.

The proposal will comply with policy 51S, for example the proposals layout will be designed in order to maximise natural ventilation, cooling and solar gain with living quarters situated to maximise sunlight. Tree planting will be used where suitable, with open space used to provide a net biodiversity gain. The proposals will seek to achieve a 19% reduction in carbon emissions below that which Building Regulations stipulate. Solar panels will be considered where viable as will the installation of the electric car charging points.

The development is located on agricultural land about 1 mile to the east of the centre of Turvey. Access is indicated to be provided via A428 Bedford Road, a single carriageway of about 6.3m width. A428 does not show any sign of congestion throughout the week. There is a medium quality footpath on the opposite side of the road but none on the side of the development. This also acts as a shared cycle path. The closest bus stop is at the eastern corner of the site serving bus route 41 which connects to Bedford/Northampton once per hour. The quality and width of the footpath could be improved. Provision of a crossing to the adjacent footpath or a new footpath along the frontage of the site.

The development will use carbon efficient building materials in its construction as well as utilising efficient energy and water systems internally alongside solar panels on the roof to create energy which can be used by the dwellings. Externally there will be bicycle provision to encourage sustainable modes of transport and electric car charging points. The scheme will also incorporate new hedgerow on the western boundary and provide a net gain in biodiversity with bird and bats boxes and native planting.

The proposals will comply with Policy 51S. The settlement in which the site is located is sustainable, providing key services both within the settlement and for surrounding rural communities with public transport links to close by towns. This will limit the need for out of settlement trips in a private vehicle, thus reducing the need to travel and carbon emissions. Tree planting will be used where suitable, with open space used to provide a net biodiversity gain. Dwellings will seek to achieve a reduction in carbon emissions, solar panels will be considered where viable as will the installation of the electric car charging points. Water efficiency will be factored into the proposals.

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

Access will be directly onto Birchfield Road, a single track road. Given the nature of the road it is likely there is currently a low level of traffic in the area and the road is unlikely to suffer from congestion, however no clear data is available. If the development were to proceed however, passing places and a widened section of Birchfield Road where the site is may be needed. There are bus stops within 650m where the 905 bus provides a half-hourly service between Bedford and Cambridge. There is no pavement or other pedestrian connectivity and Birchfield Road has a very small verge limiting the possibility to walking on the road. There is no direct cycle connectivity however within about 1km there is a shared path on Roxton Road, and an access to the Bedford-Sandy cycle track. There is no clear opportunity for pedestrian access to the site. Pedestrian access could only be achieved by walking along the carriageway of Birchfield Road, however this is narrow with high hedges either side which could make it dangerous to walk along, and there is not enough space to add in a pavement. Given the number of dwellings this is likely to be unfeasible to provide suitable mitigation.

The site is located off The Moor in the village of Carlton approximately 9 miles north-west of Bedford town centre. Access would be the existing farmyard access onto The Moor. Occassional moderate traffic in Carlton but a development this size should not make much of a difference. There is a bus stop 50m away where the 25 bus provides an hourly service between Bedford and Rushden. There is a pavement on The Moor however it is only on the opposite side of the road, the road is quiet though so should be easy to cross. There is no specific cycle connectivity however many local roads are quiet and would be suitable for cycling. Improving the footpath between Carlton and Harrold and upgrading it to a shared pedestrian/cycle path would greatly improve cycle connectivity, as well as making walking to the facilities in Harrold far more attractive.

The site is located off The Marsh in the village of Carlton approximately 9 miles north-west of Bedford town centre. Access onto The Marsh is narrow and will need widening to provide enough visibility for a new junction. The Marsh is a single track road with no passing places so a development of this size could cause localised congestion issues. There is a bus stop within 300m which provides an hourly service to Bedford. The Marsh has a very narrow and incomplete pavement. There is no specific cycle connectivity however many local roads are quiet and would be suitable for cycling. Widening and general improvements to the pavement on The Marsh, particularly along the east of the road, will greatly improve pedestrian connectivity. It is likely that The Marsh would have to be widened at the point of the new access to provide enough visibility.

The site is located west of The Moor in Carlton approximately 8.5 miles northwest of Bedford city centre. Access to the site is feasible from The Moor close to The Marsh/The Moor/High Street junction. There is no traffic data available for The Moor, however the development could cause moderate local issues on both The Moor and the junction near the site. The nearest bus stop is 75m west of the site. There is no footway directly outside of the site, but there is a 1.8m footway on the other side of the road. Cycling is possible on quiet roads in the vicinity. Access will require a road to adoptable standards in respect of carriageway width, footway width and required radius kerb. Improving the footpath along The Moor and providing a crossing to enable access from the site. Consider marking on-street cycle lanes.

The site is located close the junction of A6/The Avenue in the village of Bletsoe and lies approximately 8 miles north of Bedford town centre. The existing access point onto The Avenue is narrow and may not meet highways requirements. There is minimal traffic in the vicinity and the proposed development would likely not cause any issues on The Avenue or at the junction of A6/The Avenue. The closest bus stop is approx 130m from the site on the A6. The footway on the other side of The Avenue is around 2m outside of the site. There are no formal cycleways serving the site, however cycling is possible by using the quiet roads in the vicinity. Access pinch point appears too narrow to facilitate safe vehicle and pedestrian access at present. Access may be possible via negotiation with adjacent landowner of site 470 (or if land is in same ownership). Consider marking onstreet cycle lanes in The Avenue. Provide pedestrian crossing to footway on the opposite side of The Avenue and at the junction of The Avenue with the A6 to facilitate safe access to the bus stops. Improved bus service with regular frequency and Real-Time information.

The site is located south of Pavenham Road in Carlton approximately 8 miles northwest of Bedford city centre. Access is possible via the Pavenham Road, which is a 30mph road. The secondary access off the Causeway does not appear wide enough for vehicle access, though could provide a pedestrian/cycle link. There is some congestion in the vicinity at peak times, and potential development could exacerbate this, especially on Pavenham Road and at the Pavenham Road/Felmersham Road junction. The nearest bus stop is 350m north of the site on The Causeway with less that four services per hour. There are no footways or formal cycle lane outside of the site. Cycling is possible on quiet roads in the vicinity. Potential signalisation of the Pavenham Road/Felmersham Road and Pavenham Road/The causeway junctions could partially mitigate any traffic issues that could arise from the development. This should be investigated as part of a Transport Assessment which will be required to identify the impact of traffic and suggest satisfactory facilities for both pedestrians and cyclists. Given the development will generate an increase of pedestrians in the vicinity, then at least a minimum of 1.8m of footway is required from the site to the access the bus stops on The Causeway.

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

The site is located on the west side of Bedford Road opposite the junction with High Street in the village of Roxton in Bedfordshire approximately 10 miles east of Bedford town centre. Access to the site is feasible from Bedford Road which is an adopted and classified type C road of national speed limit which is 60mph for a single carriageway road. The nearest bus stops with bus shelter present are located on Bedford Road opposite the junction with Park Road approximately 650m from the site. There is a shared footway/cycleway outside the site along Bedford Road of approximately 1.6m in width with grass verges either side of the footway of varying widths between 1m – 1.7m. Reduce the current speed limit on Bedford Road from 60mph to 30mph through the process of a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO). A Transport Assessment (TA) will be required to identify the impact of traffic and for satisfactory facilities for both pedestrians and cyclists. Adopted parking standards would need to be adhered to in order to provide appropriate levels of car parking on site. It appears that the visibility splays of 4.5m x 215m cannot be provided. However given the alignment of Bedford Road and assuming the approval of speed reduction to 30mph by BBC, the visibility splays of 4.5m x 90m can be achieved provided that the existing boundary hedges/vegetation are set back behind the visibility splays. The existing bus service should be extended nearer the site with provision of bus stops and bus shelters. A pedestrian crossing island is required on Park Road at the junction with Bedford Road.

Access will be via the Ampthill Road/Eastville Road signalised junction already used for access to Morrisons and Aldi. Although this is a large junction given the scale of the development further assessment is required. A new junction for secondary access could be beneficial to lessen the burden. There is moderate traffic congestion in the area which could be impacted by this scale of development. There are several bus stops along the Ampthill Rd frontage of the site where the number 2 bus provides three services per hour, and less frequent services are provided by the number 44, 68 and 42 buses. There is a wide and well-paved pavement running along the Ampthill Road frontage in addition to a bus lane which is signed for use by cyclists. Further assessment should be undertaken of the impact of the proposed development on the existing Ampthill Rd/Eastville Road junction. Consider including a secondary vehicular access point to lessen the burden on the existing junction.

Likely to require contaminated land assessment and remediation if required.

concerns include rail noise, commercial activity to north including supermarket and EMR

Site does not fall within the boundary of a MSA.

Site suitable for allocation potentially along with site 436 to the south (Technology House) for a mix of residential and business uses. Opportunities also to provide open space with public access in a part of town where this is much needed. Key issues to be addressed include: Masterplan to be prepared taking account of noise environment (railway and neighbouring uses), Provision of new urban park, Safe pedestrian connection to Cauldwell School, Access strategy, Assessment of ground contamination / remediation strategy, Site specific flood risk assessment. Site is proposed for allocation in combination with Site 436 HOU3 Land at Ampthill Road, Bedford.

Access onto High Street. Potential visibility problem for the entrance as it joins the road on a relatively sharp corner. The best location for vehicle access would be in the NE corner of the site, furthest away from the bend in the road. No traffic in the area. Bus stop approx 350m away but only 3 services per day. No pedestrian access at present - closest footway is on the opposite side of High St approx 20m to the south. No specific cycle connectivity but the rural location reasonably allows for cycling on most local roads. Pedestrian access would require extension and possible widening of existing pavement along High St to the south and provision of a pedestrian crossing. Given the site can only accommodate 1-4 houses, feasibility may be an issue.

The development will use carbon efficient building materials in its construction as well as utilising efficient energy and water systems internally alongside solar panels on the roof to create energy which can be used by the dwellings. Externally there will be bicycle provision to encourage sustainable modes of transport and electric car charging points. The scheme will also incorporate new hedgerow on the western boundary and provide a net gain in biodiversity with bird and bats boxes and native planting.

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

Access will be using Green End on the east frontage of the site. No problems accessing the highway but Green End is a narrow single track road with few passing places. Other than that there are no clear signs of congestion in the local area. There is a bus stop 350m away but no pedestrian link to it and it is not clearly marked. There is no direct pedestrian or cycle access to the site however there are extensive cross-country public footpaths nearby and quiet roads which could be used for cycling. Additional passing place on Green Lane to cater for the increase in traffic. Improved visibility of the bus stop on the B660 such as signs and/or road markings. Improvements to nearby public footpaths.
