This site is suitable because it will be within walking / cycling distance of the new East West rail station and also close to the existing mainline station. It is close to the strategic growth points in St Neots (Wintringham Park) with good access to the A1 and A421. It is not such good quality agricultural land as Dennybrook – it appears to be grade 3.

This is poorer grade agricultural land and therefore meets government policy of selecting poorer quality land for development over that of a higher quality. Development here would be close to the new EWR station, to the main St Neots station and the new A428 link road thus providing easily accessible transport routes. This is not a greenfield site and therefore there is no risk of loss of identity to existing settlements.

We support development of this site. It is adjacent to the urban area and to the likely location of the new East West rail station. It therefore provides options for genuinely sustainable transport as both stations in St Neots are likely to be within walking / cycling distance It is also a smaller site so it would not grow into a new town of 10,800 homes as Dennybrook could. A much larger development such as Dennybrook would have a significant impact on St Neots and its services whereas Little Barford is smaller and would have a lower impact on the town. It is also on the side of St Neots where strategic, planned growth is already happening (Loves Farm and Wintringham Park to the east), unlike Dennybrook which is positioned to the west where the A1 has always provided a clear dividing line between urban to the east and rural land to the west.
Much of the site appears to be grade 3 agricultural land in contrast with Dennybrook which is grade 2.
