The site is located on the west side of A6, north of Mill Road and east of Templars Way, in the village of Sharnbrook, approximately 7.5 miles north of Bedford town centre. There are multiple access points to the site, from Templars Way on the northwest side of the site, A6 on the northeast of the site and Mill Road on the south side of the site. The highway network around the site experiences some traffic congestion. There are bus stops in the vicinity of the site, one on the north corner of the site near the Templars Way/A6 junction and one on the southwest corner of the site. There is no footway serving the site. However, both Templars Way and Mill Road have 1.5m footway on the other side of the road. There are no formal cycle track in the vicinity of the site but cycling is possible on-road. The size of the proposed development needs careful examination and further investigation for future construction. In this context, traffic modelling will need to be undertaken as part of the required Transport Assessment which will identify the impact. It should also include sustainable transport measures. A footway will be needed serving the site on some or all access routes (Templars Way and/or Mill Road) as well as pedestrian crossing facilities at the north corner of the site.

The site has been excluded from further assessment at Stage 1 because it is already allocated for residential development in the Sharnbrook Neighbourhood Plan (Policy S4).
