By 2024

The site is well-located for access to public transport and is within a comfortable walking distance of village facilities and amenities. The proposed residential density assumes an area of the site will be set aside to provide open space and sustainable drainage in the form of swales. Any development proposal will retain and enhance existing planting.

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

Access is onto Roxton Road in the middle of the frontage. Some moderate traffic in the area however the size of this development is not likely to make this significantly worse. The main village bus stops are within 500m of the site where the 905 bus provides a half hourly service between Bedford and Cambridge. There is a pavement along the frontage with Roxton Rd however it is fairly narrow (approx 1m wide). There is a shared cycle/pedestrian path on the opposite side of the road, however this could do with widening/improving. The pavement directly outside the site could be widened to better accommodate all users. The shared cycle/pedestrian pavement on the opposite side of Roxton Road should also be widened/improved.
