I write to object to the following proposed developments on the following grounds:
1. BOTH developments are in Wilstead parish NOT Wixams, a separate parish. Wilstead has been identified as having no major developments in the Local Plan 2040.=
2. Wixams continues to be being developed between the A6 and Kempston Hardwick therefore there is still areas of brown site to be developed without using green sites.
3. Currently both Wixams and Wilstead suffer from lack of services such as health and have pressure on other services such as education. Any further development should factor in these particular health care as there is no direct bus service to the most popular surgeries in Ampthill or London Road, Bedford.
4. I object strongly to this cynical and misleading proposal. It would easily be suggested that Wilstead would lose its identity as a rural village and separate parish and be incorporated into Wixams and thus an extension of a Bedford sprawl.
