This would depend on how quickly the Council were prepared to accept a planning application for the development and/or whether planning permission would be granted in advance of the adoption of the Plan – see separate submission attachment for further explanation. Notwithstanding the above, Wrenbridge/Unilever would persue a start on site as soon as planning permission was granted, which could be as soon as 2024.
The proposal is to provide an exemplar Garden Village which not only accords with current policy requirements but that incorporates flexible design principles, materials, etc that can adapt overtime to changing policies on climate change, environment, etc.

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. The site is located southwest of Souldrop village approximately 9 miles north of Bedford town centre. Access to the site is feasible from multiple locations, such as Colworth Road and other local roads. The closest bus stop located 250m east of the site on High Street Road. In Colworth Road there is footway of 2m on the other side of the road, but there are no footways serving the access point. Cycling is possible on-road. The size of the proposed development needs careful examination and further investigation for future construction. Traffic modelling will need to be undertaken as part of the required Transport Assessment which will identify the impact and will include sustainable transport measures.
