Bedford holds a significant position within the OxCambs Arc. Given the planned population growth to 2040, together with the proposed East West Rail and upgrade to the A428 from the Black Cat Roundabout, both Wyboston and Little Barford (Option 2c) appear to rational locations for the location of a sustainable new settlement and employment allocation. Such locations are supported as they will provide suitable access to the key transport nodes centered around the convergence of the A1/ A428 and also East West Rail and the existing East Coast Mainline.
