If allocated in the adopted plan in 2023, we would expect to secure an implementable planning consent within 2 years and commence the development of the site within 2 years of adoption, ie. 2026.

If allocated, the site would be brought forward as an exemplar scheme, using the highest design standards, reflecting the village location and incorporating leading edge technologies to maximise energy efficiency and property insulation, up to and beyond the current requirements of Part L of the Building Regulations.

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

The site is located on the north side of Silver Street in the village of Stevington approximately 5.7 miles northwest of Bedford town centre. Suitable access is achievable direct via the Silver Street frontage. Some traffic congestion is present along Silver Street leading up into Stevington at various times of the day. The closest bus stop is located 400m northeast of the site on Park Road. There are no footways in the vicinity of the of the site, only a green verge close to the access point that could be used by pedestrians, however ownership of this verge would need to be confirmed to enable connectivity to existing footways closer to Stevington. Cycling is possible using quiet roads in the vicinity. A footway would be necessary outside of the site to provide connectivity to existing footways to the north, however ownership of the verges will need to be confirmed. Consider marking on-street cycle lanes.
