My family and I oppose the Dennybrook proposed development.

1. The land is high quality agricultural, growing essential crops. Not brownfield site. Twinwoods would be much more suitable for such a large development and includes brownfield elements and much better road structure.
2. The site is in a very rural area with few access roads, incapable of handling the volume of traffic. Several are track roads. It would be absolute chaos and also encourage more car use.
3. Construction traffic would create huge disruption for decades to come.
4. The proposal is such a huge development that it would totally wipe out this rural area and its historic settlements.
5. I fail to see how this site would benefit Bedford. People would be more attracted to St. Neots area for shopping and employment.
6. The call-for-sites by BBC received hundreds of responses, so there is no need to consider something as large and destructive as Dennybrook would be.
7. The lovely views we have would be spoilt and gone forever.
