100-word Summary
The transport model used by AECOM is fundamentally flawed because the model has not been validated / calibrated (particularly with respect to public transport), a strategic model has been used incorrectly and the data has not been tested. AECOM have significantly undervalued the number of vehicle trips. Dennybrook is too far from the proposed new E-W rail station to cause such a significant reduction in car use. Therefore, I believe that if a new settlement is required it should be at Little Barford. My second choice would be Twinwoods with a guided busway or parkway station.
