HOU15 - Land South of Wixams
10.14 The submission plan identifies that the proposed allocation forms part of the wider South of Bedford Area, it is however, unclear how many homes would actually be delivered within the allocation.
10.15 CBC generally supports the further expansion to the south of Wixams within Bedford Borough. However, due to the cross boundary nature of the Wixams site as a whole, coordination between CBC and Bedford will need to be ongoing to ensure the area as a whole is delivered cohesively. CBC and BBC will also need to look at wider cross-boundary issues, including an access strategy and particularly treatment of the A6 junctions and extension of bus routes to create a network for the wider Wixams site.
