Representation ID: 3755

Received: 23/08/2021

Respondent: Carlton and Chellington Parish Council

Representation Summary:

• Section 3.29 states: The main area where additional [traffic] mitigation is not identifiable is on the A6 approach to Bedford from the north.
• In the absence of currently deliverable railway stations at either [Colworth/Twinwoods] location which might make an impact, the capacity issues here are too great to allow further development on the A6 (north) corridor such as the new settlements proposed at Twinwoods and / or Colworth.
As there is obviously no capacity, or available mitigations for the A6 options 3-7 are not workable.
