There is no specific proposal at the moment however the proposed scheme would comply with the sustainability requirements of the adopted policy which would include seeking to minimise the emission of greenhouse gasses and pollution whilst maximising water and energy efficiency. Due to the size of the parcel of land, in living memory it has only ever been used as rough grazing, it is therefore estimated to be Grade 5 agricultural land. There are no veteran trees in the hedgerow surrounding or within the plot.

The site is located close to the junction of A6/The Avenue in the village of Bletsoe and lies approximately 8 miles north of Bedford town centre. Access on the site is feasible from The Avenue. There is minimal traffic in the vicinity and the proposed development would likely not cause any issues on The Avenue or at the junction of A6/The Avenue. The closest bus stop is approx 100m from the site on the A6. The footway on the other side of The Avenue is around 2m outside of the site. There are no formal cycleways serving the site, however cycling is possible by using the quiet roads in the vicinity. Consider marking on-street cycle lanes on The Avenue. Provide pedestrian crossing to footway on the opposite side of The Avenue and at the junction of The Avenue with A6 to facilitate safe access to the bus stops. Improved bus service with regular frequency and Real-Time information.
