a)The proposal for ‘Dennybrook Garden Village’ is hugely excessive. This is no ‘Garden Village; it is a NEW TOWN and should be referred to as such.
b) The vehicular access to the A1 and A421 is already congested and dangerous when pulling out. The proposal could add another 10-20,000 cars.
c) The Government is prioritising brownfield sites. This proposal obliterates 2400 acres of prime agricultural land, along with the wildlife who live there.
d) The new population will not shop in Bedford, but go to St Neots, which is nearer and a more pleasant experience.
e) Our narrow lanes are already blighted by heavy goods vehicles, another 20-30 years of construction traffic will be an unacceptable burden of small communities.
f) This proposal seems to be contemporary with the building of the new railway AND the building of the new 3 tier Black Cat Roundabout flyover, hence a triple blow to Chawston and Wyboston. Building materials are currently in short supply.
