Colworth site 1002
Colworth is suitable because although it is not a brownfield site, it is lower grade agricultural land.
By providing sustainable transport through a guided busway or parkway station to the new east west rail station and town centre park and ride bus for the private schools, this site would clearly support the regeneration of Bedford town centre.
The area does not flood
Highway constraints were not seen as insurmountable at the time of the 2035 Local Plan when the site was supported by Sharnbrook Parish Council when put forward in the previous 2035 draft local plan
