A new access point would need to be created onto Church Road but it is anticipated that this is able to be achieved. There is also an existing field access to the south-west corner of the proposed housing allocation that could be used although this is unlikely to be the preferred option.

Access onto Church Road with a new access point. No traffic in the area. Bus stops within 100m of the site but only approx. 4 services per day per direction. Also no indication 'on the ground' that bus stops exist (only shown on maps), these should have signs at the very least. Pavement exists on Church Road but is <1m wide. No cycle connectivity but there are some gravel PRoWs in the area which combined with quiet roads makes cycling to St Neots possible. Widen pavement along frontage of the site. Give a visible marker of the bus stops on Church Road, e.g. a sign on the lamp post.
commercial activity to the North of the site may have an impact on development
The site has been excluded from further assessment at Stage 1 because its location is not in accordance with the development strategy.
