Suitable access is achievable

The site has frontage and direct access onto Williamson Road, where access into the site could be provided, and also potentially into the adjoining Kempston Challenger Academy land. We are in active discussions with the Academy in respect of being able to deliver both landholdings, potentially as one proposal. These discussions remain ongoing, and would not restrict the ability of our landholdings to come forward in isolation. However, there is a willingness from both landowners to properly examine a comprehensive approach to the sites.
