This development is not in keeping with the village of Renhold and if approved will not stop there. The Council will not be happy until development is complete all along the A421 from the M1 to the A1. This land was greenbelt. The landowner has just received a grant for new stock fencing on the northern section from the government. This means stock is required to grass this pasture for 5 years. This type of development should be kept to the industrial areas of Bedford. Any development in Renhold should be residential and restricted to infill and small developments of up to 5 residential properties at a time and of a rural type.
This development would lead to lighting which is detrimental to the village let alone the effect to wildlife in the area. This development needs to be forgotten about. The access roundabouts at this development are already a nightmare at rush hour times.
A new access to the A421 between this access point and the Sandy access coming to Bedford just East of the Lidl/Waitrose area needs to be built and infill in this area before any thought of development at site 764/761.
