The development is located on agricultural land in the north east part of the village of Turvey. Access is indicated to be provided via Norfolk Road, a single carriageway of about 4m width. The appropiateness of this access will need to be confirmed. No traffic data is available for Norfolk Rd, however Bedford Rd to the south does not appear to be congested. There is a medium quality, slightly narrow footpath on both sides of the road. There are no cycle paths in the vicinity but Norfolk road is a quiet residential road. The closest bus stop is about 350m from the site serving bus route 41 which connects to Bedford/Northampton once per hour. Confirm vehicle access is possible in marked location. The quality of the footpath could be improved. Widening would also be useful as it does not appear to be 2m or over. IT is noted that this may not be feasible due to the width of the road. On the opposite side there is a fair amount of grassy area that could be used to widen the pavement
