Representation Summary:

The site is unsuitable because:
1. Willington Quarry - large, slow moving HGV's already impacting on single carriageway St.NeotsRd/Bedfordrd.
2. Coalescence - Gt.Barford is expanding westwards toward Water End with 500 houses. The large development proposed will cause coalescence between Water End and Gt.Barford.
3. Impact on Wildlife - loss of habitat will affect both flora and fauna.
4. Overbearing structures - Renhold is a rural village. Proposed R&D with 'supporting warehousing' and 'lighting' would be detrimental to the historic nature of the environment and exisiting residents.
