Recreation and leisure - fishery

The site has the benefit of extant permission for a leisure facility that has not yet been implemented. The land owner continues to seek to progress this scheme and this could be included as part of the strategic Wyboston Garden Village proposal or a smaller scheme for just the village if the strategic allocation is not selected.

Suitable access is achievable

The site will provide four access points as indicated on the Site Location Plan. Two are off The Lane to the north of the site, one off Roxton Road, to the west, and the other off Roxton Road to the south.

The proposed scheme will address climate change through appropriate adaptation and mitigation measures in the design. Where possible the dwellings will utilise low carbon building materials. The dwellings will be energy efficient and will be designed for comfort by balancing passive cooling design strategies which maximise comfort and minimise energy use during the warmer summers, with adequate levels of insulation for the warmer winters. The dwellings will be constructed so they are weather tight, robust enough to withstand extreme weather, and with foundations which are appropriate for their lifetime. The design will also include measures for water efficiency and effective drainage.

Note that the site incorporates the development area of site 661. The site is located in the currently agricultoral area between The Lane and Roxton Road in the village of Wyboston approximately 10 miles north-east of Bedford town centre. It is to be converted to mainly residential properties as part of the development. Access is provided at 4 points, two via The Lane, an adopted and unclassified single carriageway and much of it is 30mph in speed limit and two via Roxton Road, where the speed limit is 60mph. The carriageway width of The Lane varies but is generally between 5.0m to 6.5m while the width of Roxton Road is in the order of 5.4m. There is no footway outside the site on either road. There is no dedicated cycle route in the vicinity, but Roxton Road is showing as a bicycle-friendly route. There are 4 bus stops right next to the site with 112 Ivel Sprinter stopping twice a day heading to St Neots / Biggleswade. A Transport Asssessment would be needed to assess the impact of a development of this scale on the local highway network. Consider the safety implications of egress to Roxton Road - such as traffic light controls at the access point. Improvement of pedestrian access would be needed - provision of a footpath and a dedicated cycle lane.

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

Site 1480 includes this site. The site is located on the west side of Ravensden Road, south of Ravensden village approximately 3.6 miles north of Bedford town centre. Access to the site is feasible from Ravensden Road, which is a 30mph speed limit road in the area. There is no significant traffic congestion close to the site. The nearest bus stop is located 170m east of the site access point. There is a 1.5m footway outside of the site, but no formal cycle tracks. Cycling is possible on-road. A potential pedestrians access point could be located at the southeast corner of the site via Ravensden Road. Consider marking on-street cycle lanes. The number of homes would define if it is necessary that a Transport Assessment be produced to outline the impact on the local highway network
