? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

The existing access onto Goldington Road is suitable provided that it is widened enough to accommodate two-way traffic. Due to it's central location, there is moderate traffic congestion in the area throughout most days and there is the potential for this development to worsen it. There are bus stops within 200m where the number 5 bus provides five services per hour between Goldington and Bedford Town Centre. There is a wide and well-paved pavement directly outside the site. There is an on-road unsegregated cycle lane on Goldington Road directly outside the site in both directions. A Transport Assessment would be required to determine the impact the development may have on the surrounding transport networks. Ensure that the vehicular access is widened enough to accommodate two-way traffic.

Nothing chosen

No noise concerns

Site does not fall within the boundary of a MSA.

The site is excluded at stage 2 of the assessment because the landowner has not agreed that the site can be put forward for development. There is no evidence that the site is available for development at this time. The site will be retained in the development plan as an opportunity site, in recognition of its favourable location in the urban area.
