1 - Elstow is the only historic village in the area with its Abbey and links to John Bunyan. Adding an industrial area will ruin its character.
2 - The site is in a rural location. This large development with high buildings is out of keeping with its surroundings.
3 - The development would bring urbanisation to the village making it just another suburb of Bedford.
3 - The development will increase traffic through the village. Commuters from north Bedford will rat-run along Wilstead Rd, High St, and Progress Way instead of using the A6 and Ampthill Rd.
