This in effect expands the edge of Bedford by approx. 0.5 miles beyond the current bypass.
That road then stops being a bypass and becomes a congested road within the town.
The new development / estate is very unlikely to have sufficient facilities to be self contained and is in reality an estate on the edge of town.
Although the area is currently has all these problems, this expansion makes it 3 times worse.
