Firstly, why is Grade A agricultural land even being considered for building??!We are not making any more farmland, when it’s gone, it’s gone! How will we feed this country when we’ve built on the last of our decent farmland?
There are plenty of vacant homes/businesses/shops in Bedford, that cabn be turned into suitable homes. Why would you buy a house 10 miles from Bedford, one mile from St Neots and then work/shop/set up businesses, anywhere but St Neots?! We lose again!
We are a beautiful, rural, agricultural community and do not need any massive development here. We are 7 miles from St Neots, 8 miles away from Bedford, which can only mean more cars on our shoddy pot-holed roads.
The proposal for 52 houses in the orchard opposite my Grade 2 listed cottage will mean @ 200 cars from this one site alone! Not to mention ground works literally shaking my house for the next?? years. Please keep to Bedford suburbs, try and do your best for Bedford and Bedfordshire, not the easiest option!
Do not build on farmland. We do not want to be dependent on the world to feed us – we are not making any more agricultural land!
