Our client controls the Land Goldington Road, Bedford, which is being promoted through the Call For Sites Process, Site ID 748.
The site is an ideal location for a mixed employment, retail, and leisure development. It is an accessible, highly visible gateway site directly adjacent to an established retail centre and could function as an important growth area. These types of uses provide an important economic function and provide jobs, particularly for younger people. This area is well connected to the highway network and has good access to public transport. The landowner is aware of similar proposals for development on the neighbouring sites and is willing to work with neighbouring landowners where necessary.
