Please stop and think about what you are suggesting here...

There is no need for a science-campus proposal in this location. Bedford is and never will be a science or research location like Cambridge or Oxford.
In November 2020, there were 68,916 square metres of office units and 90,760 square metres of industrial units available in the Borough.
Instead of allocating more 'strategic road network1 employment sites, you should focus on managing and encouraging the development of the 3 already allocated sites, land at Medbury Farm (ADl 1, land west of 8530 (ADl 7) and Bedford River Valley Park (AD23), totalling 72 hectares, where development has not yet started.
