I would like to strongly object to the proposed plans to build on 30 hectares of land on st neots road. I live at dairy farm cottage which is opposite the site. Last year My partner and I bought our house with covenants and over ridges attached stating we could not build without paying 50% of any profits to the council,we went ahead because we wanted somewhere with land and beautiful views of the country side which in the area are few a far between. I feel this project will cause pollution to this beautiful part of bedford along with more cars and traffic which will leave the reason for building the bypass in the first place a waste of time and money. It will also ruin the skyline and lovely views I dont want to look out of my windows and see industry if I wanted that I would move to the seedy areas of london. I have children and have huge issues with them breathing in the polluted air this project will no doubt bring, along with the wildlife habitats you are destroying and the noise and disruption this will cause.The villages in and around great barford are being destroyed on a yearly cycle that seems to go on and on, why can we not keep our villages as villages? There are plenty of unused rundown industrial areas in and around bedford why are these places not the focal point for building and improving? Under the guise of bringing more people to bedford I feel you are driving out local residents and familys such as my own ,is this really a win for bedford or just an opportunity to make money? I am truly worried for our future here and I hope this email reaches someone with a moral compass that is still intact so that our voices may not only be heard but taken into consideration for once,it would be such a shame to destroy that which so many of us are grateful for.
