The proposed scheme will address climate change through appropriate adaptation and mitigation measures in the design. Where possible the dwellings will utilise low carbon building materials. The dwellings will be energy efficient and will be designed for comfort by balancing passive cooling design strategies which maximise comfort and minimise energy use during the warmer summers, with adequate levels of insulation for the warmer winters. The dwellings will be constructed so they are weather tight, robust enough to withstand extreme weather, and with foundations which are appropriate for their lifetime. The design will also include measures for water efficiency and effective drainage.

x The proposal has the potential to cause harm to heritage assets. This harm may range from low to high. There may be options to avoid, reduce or mitigate this harm and where sites have not been ruled out altogether for other reasons, further assessment will be undertaken to more fully explore impacts on significance and options for harm reduction and mitigation. This further assessment may ultimately lead to the conclusion that the site should not be allocated.

x The site is not previously developed land as defined in the NPPF.

+ The site is not on best and most versatile agricultural land as defined in the NPPF.

Access would be shared with the existing hotel access. There can be moderate traffic in the area however this development is very small so would likely make little to no difference. There are bus stops on the High Street approx 180m away where the 51 bus provides a half hourly service to Bedford, and the 50 bus provides an additional hourly service. There is a pavement on Green Lane opposite the site access, however the access to the site itself prevents pedestrian access. There is no specific cycle connectivity however there are several paved PRoWs in the area which would be suitable for cycling. The development is very small so would likely not warrant a new pedestrian access, although the fence at the access point could be partly removed to improve the ability of pedestrians to access the site without walking on the road.
