I strongly object to the development of a new settlement at Colworth (and, to a lesser degree at Twinwoods, for the same reason).
The most direct route from Colworth/Sharnbrook to Milton Keynes is through the Great Ouse valley riverside villages. Convenient A-roads don't exist for this purpose. Your Forecast (Traffic) Flow Charts show this but no mitigation measures are offered other than access to the A6.
Traversing Harrold High Street is a case of navigating one bottleneck after another. The anticipated substantial increase in traffic will exacerbate the existing pollution caused by vehicles queueing for access with their engines idling.
