c. 4.3 ha – Relocation of Lovell Road Sports Pitches c. 2ha Oakley NP Allocated Site c.7ha Further Residential Development Balance of Gross Site area to be provided as open space, landscaping and route of distributor road
In addition to the proposed residential development of the land, including that related to the NP designated area, and the proposed residential development of the current Lincroft School recreation land (under an agreement for a ‘land swap’ with the Sharnbrook Academy Federation – SAF), the development proposal will create a new, self-contained Lincroft School Campus. This will provide for a dedicated school access thus relieving current traffic congestion and environmental issues associated with the current access provision at Oakley, together with additional parking (cars and coaches//buses) and circulation space, expanded, new sports facilities, inc new teaching space (for sports) changing facilities etc). The existing school sports facilities are separated from the School which is disruptive and has safety implications. The development of the land would also allow for the provision of a new highways/movement corridor and significantly better traffic management (as set out on master plan) which will have significant environmental and amenity benefits

2025/26 - Submission and determination of application – Q1 2024 - Sale of Site – Q3 2024 - Reserved Matters Application – Q4 2024 - Commencement Q1 2025 Development timeframe assumes full build out by 2028/29 Note that the northern portion of the site (c.2ha) is allocated for development under Policy HG1 of the Oakley Neighbourhood Plan and proposals for this area could proceed in advance of the indicative timeframes set out
The site is wholly contained by development or built infrastructure and is very well located to the structure, from and character of the village. Additionally, we consider Oakley to be a sustainable location for new development on the basis of the services and facilities it currently offers and its proximity to the urban area of Bedford (and the larger village of Clapham). The village’s contribution towards meeting the needs of the wider rural area exceeds that of other settlements classified as Rural Service Centres. Furthermore, the proposed development would offer the opportunity to complement and enhance these existing facilities by enabling the existing, well-established and popular Lincroft School to both improve to better meet the needs of its pupils and staff and increase capacity to enable the school to meet the increased demands arising from planned growth within its catchment area (notably the level of growth currently planned at Bromham, Clapham and Oakley). The proposal would also provide the opportunity for the school to offer its sports facilities for community use whereas now the facilities are unlit and unsuitable for such use. Development of this site would have particular regard to the environment and biodiversity within it and through suitable mitigation measures would ensure the site is future proofed. Additionally, proposals would incorporate landscaping and open spaces, including suitable tree planting and through design, layout and orientation maximise the principles of sustainable design.

The site is located on land North of Lovell Road and East of Station Road between Oakley and Clapham. Access would be provided via Lovell Road and Station Road, adopted and classified roads comprising of a 6-6.6m wide single carriageway with grass verge outside the site but footway on the opposite side. Lovell Road normally carries light traffic, however, Station Road is often congested throughout the day but particularly at peak times. The footpath on the other side of the road is fairly wide but not of the best quality on Lovell Road, while on Station Road it is fairly good quality. The Lovell Road one isn't suitable for wheelchairs. There is no cycle path in the vicinity. The closest bus stop on both roads are right in front of the site, serving buses 25 and 51 to Bedford, Rushden and Pavenham, at 3 times per hour frequency. A Transport Assessment should be developed to assess the impact of the development on the road network. The amount of extra traffic would likely cause increased congestion, particularly on Station Road. Cycle connection improvements would be recommended as well as improvement of the pedestrian facilities, such as improving the quality of the footpath on Lovell Road. Pedestrian crossings should be provided. Both roads are narrow so any mitigation requiring extra road capacity might be an issue.
predominant concern is railway noise
The site has been excluded from further assessment at Stage 1. Part of the site is already allocated for residential development in the Oakley Neighbourhood Plan. The remainder of the site is not in a location that is in accordance with the development strategy.

The site is under-utilised agricultural land and is very well located to the structure, from and character of the village and adjacent commercial uses. Additionally, we consider Oakley to be a sustainable location for new development on the basis of the services and facilities it currently offers.

The site is located at the south side of Highfield Road and adjacent to the east side of property no. 8 Highfield Road, in village of Oakley approximately 5 miles north-west of Bedford town centre. The site fronts onto Highfield Road at the most northern tip of the site and on the west side of the existing roundabout junction with A6 and also the A6 link road between the roundabout junction and the A6 dual carriageway on the east side. Access would be provided via Highfield Road, a single carriageway with 30mph speed limit and a footpath on the side of the development. The footpath is rather narrow and only extends to the West. There are no cycle paths in the vicinity. Neither Highfield Road or the A6 are normally congested, however, Station Road just to the West often is. Depending on the level of traffic generated, this might cause an issue. The closest bus stop is about 280m from the site, serving buses 50 and 51 to Bedford and Rushden, at 2 times per hour frequency. TA should be developed to assess the impact of the development on the road network. Cycle connection improvements would be recommended as well as improvement of the pedestrian facilities, such as improving the quality / width of the footpath on Highfield Road. It's unclear where the exact access point will be on Highfield Road but it would be good if the pedestrian access wasn't directly onto the roundabout, for safety reasons.

The site contains a single agricultural building and adjoins the settlement. This site provides a sustainable location which is well related to the existing pattern of development along Sharnbrook Road. Development of this site would have particular regard to the local environmental context and through good design incorporating suitable mitigation measures would ensure the site is future proofed. Additionally, proposals would incorporate landscaping and open spaces, including suitable tree planting and through design, layout and orientation maximise the principles of sustainable design

The site is well related to the urban area of Kempston and the extensive range of services and facilities provided there and within the urban extension development area. This includes a broad range of retail facilities including supermarkets, doctors/dentist surgeries, schooling (primary and secondary) and a range of leisure uses. There is also access to public transport providing services to Bedford and the surrounding towns and villages. Therefore, the site is in a sustainable location and reduces reliance on the private car and is capable of supporting a range of development typologies. Development of this site would have particular regard to the environment and biodiversity within it and through suitable mitigation measures. Additionally, proposals would incorporate landscaping and open spaces, including suitable tree planting and through design, layout and orientation maximise the principles of sustainable design.

The site is located on the east side of Green End Road at the corner with Cemetery Road and is approximately 4.5 miles south-west of Bedford town centre. Access to the site is feasible from Green End Road and Cemetery Road. Traffic generation from the potential residential development for residential units and retail would generate an increase in pedestrian and traffic movements. The nearest bus stops are on Cemetery Road just before the southbound approach to the roundabout junction with Martell Road approximately 1.1km in distance. Although a footway is present on the opposite side of the site, the width is below the minimum of 1.8m and there is no footway immediately outside the site. Cycling is possible only by using the road surface. Given the significant scale of proposals, a road to adoptable standards is required in accordance with Bedford Borough Council's highway standards in respect of width of carriageway, provision of footway/maintenance margins and radius kerbs at the junction. A Transport Assessment will be required to identify the impact of traffic and provision of satisfactory facilities for both pedestrians and cyclists. Any access off Cemetery Road will likely require a reduction in speed to 30mph, with the extent of reduction to be agreed with the highway authority.

Sustainable Location The site is an existing small industrial/agricultural estate located just outside of Radwell and is within walking distance of two bus stops. This will provide potential future employees at the site the opportunity to use public transport to travel to work and reduces the reliance on the use of private transport. The buses also provide services into Bedford and the surrounding towns and villages should a wider range of services and facilities be necessary.

Access onto Moor End Lane, a private road that is part of the site, then connecting to Radwell Rd. There can be some congestion along Radwell Rd at times. Bus stop with approx 1 service per hour each direction (Rushden- Bedford) approx 1km from the site. Moor End Lane appears suitable for pedestrians and cycles, and connects to a pavement on Radwell Rd as well as a cycle-friendly PRoW. Surfacing improvements on Moor End Lane to improve access from the bus stop to the site.

New vehicular access is proposed at two separate points onto Milton Road, both of which seem appropriate. There can be some light traffic in the area, however the site has excellent access to the A6, though this development and other neighbouring ones may contribute to congestion. There are a pair of bus stops directly outside the northern vehicular access where the 51 bus provides a roughly hourly service between Bedford and Rushden. Both proposed access points have a pavement on the opposite side of the road. Near the north of the site on Bedford Rd there is a shared cycle/pedestrian path running along the A6 to Milton Ernest. A Transport Assessment is required to assess cumulative impacts of this site and others proposed in the vicinity. Include pedestrian crossings at both proposed access points to ensure pedestrian access to the existing pavement on Milton Road.
