? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

The site is located on the north side of Templars Way in the village of Sharnbrook approximately 7.9 miles north of Bedford town centre. The site will be accessed via Templars Way after the junction of Templars Way/Kennell Hill/Mill Road. There is sometimes moderate traffic congestion on Kennell Hill outside of the site entrance, and the potential development could have an additional impact. The closest bus stop is located in the vicinity of the south of the site on Templars Way. There is a 1.2m footway in the frontage of the site on Templars Way. There are not formal cycle tracks and cycling is possible only by using the footway or the road surface. A Transport Assessment will be required to identify the impact of traffic on Templars Way as well as at the Templars Way/Kennell Hill/Mill Road junction. The proposal will require a road to adoptable standards in accordance with Bedford Borough Council's highway standards in terms of accommodating the carriageway/footway widths and the required radius kerbs. A 2m footway is required outside of the site to connect with the bus stop. Consider marking onstreet cycle lanes.
