This propose development is on high quality agricultural land and building on this site will reduce grop growing capacity and will have a big impact on the natural biodiversity in this area. On this site I have seen many birds including sky larks, red kites, barn owls and Buzzards, I have also a large number of Brown Hares The footpaths and bridleways going through this site are continually used by the local residents and visitors from nearby towns as we are encouraged to walk and exercise
Developing this site will lead to an increase of traffic on small rural roads regardless of any planned road developments as the small rural roads will be used as a rat run to access the nearby towns for work and transport etc.
As this development is nearer St Neots, this will economically disadvantage the growth and development to Bedford town center
This site has no brown field areas and is all on high grade agricultural land
If this development goes ahead it will lead to decades of disruption to this very quiet rural area which will have an impact on the residents physical and mental health
