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 and far too many houses for the 2040 plan, 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 Colworth 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?
