Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 4704

Received: 01/09/2021

Respondent: Mrs Gerardine Meola

Representation Summary:

The proposed new settlement on land west of Wyboston is too far from proposed EWR station at Little Barford to reduce car use - even with a cycleway.

If there must be a new settlement it should be at Little Barford which will reduce car use.

The models have not taken into account the nature of open countryside roads (high hedges, single track, no verge, rutted verge and no paths) which would have an impact on access north from development on land west of Wyboston. The models only looked at vehicle movements - numbers which seemed low.
