Site presently has agricultural access to public highway. The site benefits from its own access that could be upgraded and thus deliver an independent development, or it could be delivered in conjunction with the adjoining land owned by Bedford Borough Council (BBC) to the east (Site 306) with a new access to Cranfield Road.

The site is in a sustainable location with access to local sustainable transport methods including local bus services, as well as being within a practical commutable distance of schools and employment opportunities. Due to the significant land ownership, there is the potential to deliver biodiversity improvements and a large new community woodland on land as put forward and adjoining within the same land ownership. The development would also have the potential to deliver low or zero carbon homes in line with emerging national and local planning policy.

There is existing access via a farm track north towards Wootton Upper School which does have space to be widened and include a pavement, however a purpose-built access road east to Cranfield Road would be a better option. There is some moderate traffic in the area and a development of this scale could cause a significant impact. The nearest bus stop using the proposed access is 1.1km away where the 53 bus gives a service three times per hour to Bedford. However, if a separate pedestrian/cycle access was provided in the NE corner of the site, the nearest stop would be 350m with the same services. There is no current pedestrian connectivity however both proposed access points have scope to include sufficient pavements connecting to the local area. There is no cycle connectivity however there would be space for a shared path alongside any access road, and the existing pavement on Cranfield Road could be easily upgraded to a shared path. A Transport Assessment would be required, given the scale of the development proposed and the existing congestion in the vicinity. Include a dedicated pedestrian/cyclist access point in the NE corner of the site connecting to Jenkyn Road to give far quicker connection to local facilities. Include a shared pedestrian/cycle path alongside the site access road and consider re-designating the existing pavement on Cranfield Road as a shared path.

The site has been excluded from further assessment at Stage 1 because its location is not in accordance with the development strategy.
