Access at several points along Barford Road. Some widening work on Barford Road would be necessary, as well as new junction infrastructure and highway works for access. There are low-frequency bus services approx 1km from the site at a nearby supermarket. The closest footway is approx 250m from the north of the site on Barford Rd and is narrow (approx 1m wide). Widening and new junctions for access on Barford Road. For improved pedestrian and cycle connectivity it would be necessary to connect to the existing footway (approx 250m away). Widening of the existing footway and conversion to cycle/pedestrian route up to the A428 roundabout would be suggested. This would allow cycle/pedestrian access to the supermarket, bus services and further into the town.

Access via several points along Barford Road. Widening of Barford Rd and new junctions would be required for access, and these would need to cater for far more vehicles than the above proposal for this site due to the drastically higher number of homes (compared to sites with IDs 872 & 873). Some light traffic can be seen in the area which could worsen with 1000+ houses. Situation re PT, pedestrians and cycles is the same as for the other proposal for this site (site ID: 872 & 873). Widening and new junctions for access on Barford Road. For improved pedestrian and cycle connectivity it would be necessary to connect to the existing footway (approx 250m away). Widening of the existing footway and conversion to cycle/pedestrian route up to the A428 roundabout would be suggested. This would allow cycle/pedestrian access to the supermarket, bus services and further into the town.

NOTE: This is a large site proposal for a new settlement with complex traffic and transport requirements. Further assessment of the transport impacts has been carried out and published as a supporting document found here www.bedford.gov.uk/LocalPlan2040 Access via several points along Barford Road. Widening of Barford Road and new junctions would be required for access, and these would need to cater for more vehicles than the Site 873 proposal for this site due to the higher number of dwellings (compared to sites with IDs 872 & 873). Some light traffic can be seen in the area which could worsen with 1000+ houses. Situation re PT, pedestrians and cycles is the same as for the other proposal for this site (site ID: 872 & 873) Widening and new junctions for access on Barford Road. For improved pedestrian and cycle connectivity it would be necessary to connect to the existing footway (approx 250m away). Widening of the existing footway and conversion to cycle/pedestrian route up to the A428 roundabout would be suggested. This would allow cycle/pedestrian access to the supermarket, bus services and further into the town. The proposal suggests a cycle route along the riverside but does not say where this could go - there could be potential for this to go in to the centre of St Neots.

This site is suitable for allocation in the Local Plan for a mix of uses including housing, employment, open space and other community uses. Allocation principles include: - delivery of 4,000 dwellings and employment land within a new settlement - preparation of a masterplan to deliver a sustainable community whilst - sustainable transport links to the East West Rail station - consideration of heritage assets - preparation of a site specific flood risk assessment - delivery of schools to support the pupils generated by the development - consideration of the high pressure gas and power lines crossing the site - areas in flood zone 3 adjacent to the River Great Ouse would not support development - multi user access route along the River Great Ouse. The site has been separately assessed - see New Settlement Site Assessments supporting document. Site is proposed for allocation HOU19 Little Barford new settlement.
