Site Assessment Pro Formas

Representation ID: 3584

Received: 14/08/2021

Respondent: Mr R W Harland

Representation Summary:

This site is totally unfeasible for 132 houses. Ivy Lane is full to overcapacity. In June 2021 the Bedford Highways department objected to application (21/00734/OUT).
The Highways objection stated: “It is considered that Ivy Lane is at more than its capacity as a shared use space and narrow country lane” & “Therefore it is considered that Ivy Lane is not suitable for an increase in traffic levels.”

The access to the site as shown on the published plan is very narrow and between two houses. This access cannot accommodate the traffic of 132 houses entering and leaving the site.
