Access using existing access to football club. Two bus services per hour approx 100m from the site (bus number 73). Footway on Cambridge Rd/Meadow Ln currently stops approx. 30m short of the access point, but there is space in the verge available to extend the footpath. No cycle connectivity for the site, but if the pavement on Cambridge Rd were upgraded to cycle/pedestrian path it could provide a link to Priory Business Park and segregated routes to the town centre. Extension of footway on Meadow Ln approximatly 30m to connect to the site access point. Improvements to the Cambridge Rd pavement and redesignation as a shared path could provide traffic-free cycle connectivity to Bedford town centre.

Nothing chosen

potential noise from Bypass, odour from slaughterhouse and sewage plant

Site does not fall within the boundary of a MSA.

The site has been excluded from further assessment at Stage 1 because the allocation of such uses is not in accordance with the development strategy. Proposals will be considered against criteria based policies.

Access as existing onto The Baulk. The Baulk is a narrow, poorly maintained tarmac public PRoW. There is however very little traffic in the area. Nearest public transport is within 800m but is only 1 or 2 services per day. Although a PRoW, The Baulk clearly is used by cars but does not have any pavement or safe spaces for pedestrians. As The Baulk is a PRoW it provides good cycle connectivity, connecting with many other paved PRoWs and quiet lanes in the area. The Baulk would need to become an adopted highway - including widening, repaving, and installation of a pavement. Due to the small size of the site this is likely not feasible.

+ No capacity issues

Access onto Green Lane which is narrow and would require widening work at the new junction to make it feasible. Although narrow, the small number of houses is unlikely to cause traffic on Green Lane and there is little other traffic in the area. 2 bus services per hour approx 750m from the site. There is no pedestrian access and the narrowness of Green Lane prevents one being built there, it may be possible however to have a pedestrian and cycle link going through what looks like a village hall car park on the west border of the site and connecting to the pavement on The Baulk. There are several paved PRoWs in the area which would be suitable for cycles. Widening of road at point of access on Green Lane. Installation of a pedestrian/cycle link through car park to The Baulk (subject to ownership/access rights).

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

The site is located on the north side of Park Road in the village of Stevington approximately 5.3 miles northwest of Bedford town centre. Access is feasible direct onto Park Road. Some congestion on Park Road outside the site entrance, and the potential development (which could amount to 80+ homes) would contribute to this. The closest bus stop is located approximately 260m west of the site. No footway along the front of the site, however there is a footway on the other side of Park Road in the southwest corner of the site. Cycling is possible along Park Rd and other relatively quiet roads in the vicinity. Provide a transport assessment to assess the impact on transport networks in the vicinity and consider whether additional mititgation would be required to cater for development of this scale. Provide a footway along the site frontage or a crossing point to the opposite footway. Consider marking on-street cycle lanes.

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

Access will be via a new access point onto Wilstead Rd. There can be moderate traffic through Elstow at times, this development could make it slightly worse but is unlikely to have a major impact. Bus stops 150m from the site provide an hourly service between Bedford and Luton, both directions once an hour. There is a shared pedestrian/cycle path directly outside the site, but it is not paved or adequate width, so is unsuitable for all users. Upgrade the existing pedestrian/cycle path outside the site to a paved path; improve the crossing at the point outside the site entrance where the path switches side of the road.

Nothing chosen

no noise concerns

Site does not fall within the boundary of a MSA.

The site is not suitable for allocation. It is designated as Urban Open Space and the reason for designation: Criteria 7 - to provide a buffer between the existing residential uses and the employment allocation, would be compromised if the sites was developed. The inclusion of the Urban Open Space designation was integral to the allocation of land for employment at Medbury Farm (ADLP policy AD11) in order to provide separation between new employment activity and Elstow village.

Access to the site is feasible from Chantry Avenue. The frontage of the site in Chantry Avenue is approximately 20m. There is a bus stop in front of the site. There are footways on both side of the Chantry Avenue in front of the site that are around 2m. Cycle is possible either on the footway or by using the road surface. A Transport Assessment (TA) will be required to identify the impact of traffic in Chantry Avenue as well as the Chantry Avenue/Magnolia Close junction and Chantry Avenue/Chantry Road junction.

Site does not fall within the boundary of a MSA.

The site is suitable for allocation. It is an urban brownfield site that has been vacant and derelict for many years and with careful design, respecting the close proximity of employment uses, it is suitable for residential development. In order to achieve an acceptable solution, a masterplan and design code should be prepared. A transport assessment and site specific flood risk assessment to consider all sources of flooding will also be required. Site is proposed for allocation HOU9 Land at Chantry Avenue, Kempston.

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.

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

The site is located approximately 8.8 miles north of Bedford town centre in the Village of Sharnbrook. The site fronting is located on Park Lane. The vehicular access is proposed to be via an existing access off Park Lane. It is not clear whether it is proposed to use the drive of the existing property on the site, or demolish the existing building to increase the width of the access. This will need clarification. It is also noted that the access assessment mentioned does not appear to be attached to the application. There is significant traffic congestion in the area close to the site, especially south on High Street, however this scale of development is unlikely to have any additional impact. The closest bus stop is located 140m south of the site on High Street. There is a footway strip of approximately 1m wide. Cycling is possible only by using the road surface. Confirmation of proposed access arrangements should be provided. Improve footways outside the site and consider marking on-street cycle lanes.
