Likewise, the proposal for up to 3800 dwellings (With a potential for over 7500 additional vehicles) at Kempston Hardwick, to the west of Wixams, will add similar pressures. It will also result in a more or less continuous areas of development from Stewartby, through Kempston Hardwick and Wixams, to Wilstead, Elstow and Shortstown.

The area will change fundamentally, from one of small, rural villages to a large urban sprawl. The building of a large new settlement at Kempston Hardwick, so close to another new settlement at Wixams, is a recipe for traffic chaos, as the roads will not be able to absorb such a huge amount of additional traffic. It wall have sever environmental consequences from day one.
