Primary access via a new link road to King George Ave (already with planning permission), secondary access via existing link to Beverley Crescent south of the site. There is little traffic in the area except for some during the morning peaks on Bromham Rd. Approximatly 450m from the site, on Biddenham Turn, the 41 bus provides an hourly service between Northampton and Bedford. Both proposed access points have well-paved, wide pavements on both sides of the road. The access onto King George Ave connects directly to a shared pedestrian/cycle path. The development should encourage use of sustainable means of transport to prevent a worsening of the congestion on Bromham Rd during the morning peak. The site has excellent walking and cycling connections so the best way of achieving this would be to ensure that good walking and cycling infrastructure is continued within the site as well.
predominant noise concerns will be rail traffic and noise from supermarkets across the rail line
The site is already allocated in the development plan for residential and, if required, educational use. LP2030 Policy 21.
