? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

This site is a small part of site 1228. The site is located north of Northampton Road and Grange Lane in the Bromham area approximately 3.5 miles west of Bedford town centre. Access to the site is feasible via Grange Lane without issues. No traffic data available in the immediate vicinity, however the proposal could cause some issues on Grange Lane as well as at the junctions of Northampton Road/Grange Lane and Grange Lane/Springfield Drive. The closest bus stop is 180m east of the site in Springfield Drive and another one 350m west of the site on Northampton Road. Shared cycle path/footway directly from the southwest of the site. Assessment required of the impact of the development on the junctions of Northampton Road/Grange Lane and Grange Lane/Springfield Drive for potential traffic increase.
