If a new settlement is required then Little Barford should be the preferred option as it is close to the
East West rail station. Dennybrook should be discounted because there is a risk of coalescence with
St Neots, the local roads are unsuitable, the traffic modelling was inadequate, it would engulf
existing hamlets and fundamentally change the rural nature of the parish, it would use high quality
agricultural land and it is too far from the proposed E-W rail station to be sustainable.
If Little Barford is not suitable then a new settlement at Twinwoods or Colmworth of 2500 homes would be the next best option. Twinwoods includes a significant proportion of Brownfield site and Colworth includes lower grade(3) agricultural land. Both these sites would support Bedford town Centre and Colworth was supported in the 2035 plan which was later reviewed. as the A6 was not considered sufficiently problematic then, its hard to understand how it is now?
