2024/25

The development of the site would utilise sustainable construction techniques and minimise waste and energy consumption. There would be a Travel Plan for the development that would minimise the use of the private car and promote other alternative modes of transport such as a car share scheme, private taxi service, and mini-bus scheme. Renewable energy sources will also be used where appropriate.

x The proposal has the potential to cause harm to heritage assets. This harm may range from low to high.

The site is located on the east side of Newton Lane in the village of Turney approximately 6.7 miles west of Bedford town centre. Site access will apparently be via Station Rd, however is dependent upon construction of "approved Class C2 Retirement Community scheme (LPA Ref: 19/01956/MAF)". The requirement for the construction of this scheme may pose a significant constrait to this development if it does not progress,a dn it is not clear if access routes will be sufficient to support traffic generated by an additional 20 homes. There is no significant traffic congestion in the area. The closest bus stop is located approximately 350m north of the site on Bedford Road. There nearest footway is to the north along Station Rd and the nearest shared cycleway begins approximately 300m north and runs along the A428 Bedford Rd Access to the site is dependent on construction of an existing approved scheme, however proposals to provide access to this scheme along the same route need further examination. Footways are necessary to connect the site with Station Road and the bus stop.
