This is purely a greenfield site - Government planning policy states that brownfield sites should be selected in preference to greenfield site. In addition, this is grade 2 agricultural land - the best and most versatile - where significant development is required, areas of poorer quality land should be chosen. Development here will not benefit Bedford town centre - instead St Neots (Cambs) will become over-utilised and overwhelmed due its proximity to this site, risking 'urban sprawl'.

Rural lifestyles and livelihoods will be destroyed. The ability to keep horses and livestock will be diminished.
