I write to register my disapproval to the proposed Employment Development at Water End & St Neots Road, Renhold

From my understanding of the plans for the Renhold site, the narrow village roads just will not cope with the increase in the volume of traffic . There is already a big congestion problem outside the school, and the same can happen when events are held at the Church. There is no room to pass parked vehicles

The land in question for this site is currently used to grow wheat, and for sheep to graze on. This country needs to better feed itself without foreign imports, upon which it relies too heavily . To build on such land makes no sense.

If this Development is allowed to go ahead inevitably the land owner will wish to build houses for the people who come to work there, meaning not just the loss of more arable & pasture land, but also a very probably joining of the gaps between Bedford and Renhold, or Gt Barford and Renhold .

I object to Policy EI\/IP6 in the strongest terms.
