A rural area, a designated wild life corridor to Marston Vale, narrow roads, horses and tractors, danger to pedestrians and other road users.
A school and large housing development nearby already. School could be enlarged making better use of existing staff and resources
We object to this development in the strongest terms. This is a designated rural area, with a developing wood creating a wildlife corridor to Marston Vale. Huge time and effort has been spent with the Woodland Trust to make this a viable space for wild life.
Climate crisis must be taken seriously and the attention to wildlife and bio diversity is as essential as new homes. If we allow the planet to die none of us will need homes!
Kempston already has a large development and a Primary school close by. It surely makes more sense to expand and develop that school and continue building around the edges of the by pass.
Gibraltar corner leads to a rural and farming area, extra traffic around these narrow lanes where horses and tractors regularly walk / drive will be hazardous for all.
Please reconsider for the sake of the planet and safety.
