TW object to the allocation of Little Barford under policy HOU19. The site is undeliverable and undevelopable in the 2040 Plan period, as it is reliant on key rail infrastructure which does not even exist and is unlikely to by 2030. The site has considerable environmental and physical constraints in any event, and further, until the route of the EWR is consented, it is impossible to masterplan the site to determine whether or not the required 4,000 (3,800 in the plan period) can actually be realised within the allocation. In addition, severance and connectivity is severely compromised resulting in serious concerns as to whether a cohesive, well planned, well connected community can actually be achieved on the site.
Please see attached representations…specifically section 3 paragraphs 3.1-3.28, paragraph 5.6 bullet 4, section 6, Appendices A,B,C.
