Access will be in the NE of the site - demolishing 21 Church End to provide a new access onto Church End. There is often moderate traffic on Main Road, Biddenham, however most traffic from this site is likely to use Gold Lane to access the A6 and A4280 for most journeys. The 41 bus stops within 400m of the site and provides an hourly service between Northampton and Bedford. Church End does not have a pavement, just a narrow painted pedestrian verge. There is however what appears to be a surfaced footpath running along the southern boundary of the site. The path running along the southern boundary appears to be a cycle path as well, so could be used for direct cycle connectivity. 21 Church End would need to be demolished to achieve the desired access. Church End does not have a pavement so pedestrian and cycle connectivity will have to be provided by linking the development to the existing pedestrian/cycle path running along the southern boundary of the site.

The site is designated as urban open space. Development of this site would compromise the reason for designation which is Criteria 9 – the space provides a visual break between the built up areas to maintain the local distinctiveness of Biddenham. It lies within the Urban Open Gap between Biddenham Village and Great Denham and would compromise the reasons for that designation. The site is not proposed for allocation.

Access will be formed by demolishing 146 Milton Road and constructing a new access road. A slight realignment of the bus stop will be needed as this currently covers part of the proposed access. There is only a very small amount of traffic in the area and the site has excellent access to the A6, however this development and other neighbouring ones may contribute to congestion. A bus stop approximatly 25m from the proposed access gives an hourly service to Bedford via the number 50 service. There is a wide and well-paved pavement directly outside the site on Milton Road. 250m from the site north on Milton Road there is a shared cycle/pedestrian path running along the A6 to Milton Ernest. A Transport Assessment is required to assess cumulative impacts of this site and others proposed in the vicinity. Realign current bus stop to ensure adequate and safe vehicular access. Ensure that a pavement is built as part of the access road and connects to the pavement on Milton Road. Suggest that the pavement on Milton Road be redesignated as a shared path to connect to the existing shared path 250m north of the site access.

The site has been excluded from further assessment at Stage 1 because its location is not in accordance with the development strategy.

Access will be formed by demolishing 114 Milton Rd, which would provide a wide access point onto a highly visible part of the road. There is only a very small amount of traffic in the area and the site has excellent access to the A6, however this development and other neighbouring ones may contribute to congestion. There is a bus stop 130m away where the number 50 bus provides an hourly service to Bedford. There is a wide and well-paved pavement directly outside the proposed access on Milton Road. There is no direct cycle access however there is a shared cycle/pedestrian path about 700m north on Milton Road running along the A6 to Milton Ernest. A Transport Assessment is required to assess cumulative impacts of this site and others proposed in the vicinity. Ensure that a pavement is built as part of the new access road, connecting to the pavement on Milton Road. Suggest that the pavement on Milton Road be redesignated as a shared path to connect to the existing shared path 700m north of the site access.

Access proposed to the site directly off Luton Road, no obvious constraints. Some traffic congestion at peak times along Luton Rd, and the size of this development may contribute to this. Nearest bus stop is approx 180m to the south along Luton Rd, which features an hourly service to Bedford. A reasonable footway is situated directly outside the site. This could be expanded and imprved as part of the development. No cycle routes nearby however given its width, cycling is possible along the road surface. Given the scale of the development, a Transport Assessment will be required to assess the impact on surrounding transport networks and propose any mitigation (if necessary). Improve footway adjacent to the site and consider marking on-road cycle lanes.

Vehicular access will be off New Road which presents no problems. Some moderate traffic in the area along New Road at peak times which could be worsened by the development and neighbouring proposed sites. The nearest bus stop is 400m away where the 27 bus provides 4 daily services to Bedford. However another stop approx 1km away provides a half-hourly service between Bedford and Cambridge. There is currently no pedestrian or cycle connectivity, however a connection to Woodpecker Close could provide this. There is also an access point to the Sandy-Bedford cycle track nearby, accessible via some quiet roads. Include a connection to Woodpecker Close to provide pedestrian and cycle connectivity. Better signpost the route to the nearby access point of the Sandy- Bedford cycle track.

The site location is west from the Home Road and South from the Green End Road in Kempston, around 3 miles south-west of Bedford town centre. Access to the site is feasible from Home Road. Traffic generation from the potential residential development would generate an increase in traffic movements in Home Road, Green End Road, Ridge Road and in junction Home Road/Ridge Road. The closest bust stop is approximately 330m from north the site in Ridge Road. There are no public rights of way or formal cycleways way serving the site. A Transport Assessment (TA) will be required to identify the impact of traffic in Ridge Road as well as in the Home Road/Ridge Road junction. Potential signalisation of the Home Road/Ridge Road give way junction may required. Development of the footway across Home Road in the frontage of the site required as well as creation of a pedestrian access via Ibbett Close.

The site is located on the western side of Home Road at Gibraltar which is in between Kempston Church End and Wootton. The site is approximately 3.2 miles west of Bedford town centre. The proposed development will be accessed via Home Road which has a 30mph speed limit. The proposed access is approximately 225m walking distance from the nearest bus stop on Ridge Road. The footway width is 1.2m with 0.5m verge on the access side of the carriageway for a part of the site and for the rest of the site there is no public rights of way. There is no formal cycleways way serving the site. The proposal would need to ensure a footway is constructed linking the proposed access with the existing footway roughly 20m to the south in order to access public transportation facilities.

The site is located on New Road at Priory Farm approximately 10 miles northwest of Bedford town centre in the Village of Harrold. Two access point are available to the site, one from New Road and one for pedestrians only from the eastern side of the site to the High Street. The surface of this second access would need to be improved as part of the development. No significant congestion issues in the vicinity, however the potential development could have a moderate impact, particularly with the adajcent site 365. The closest bus stop is 100m east of the site in High Street. There are no footways outside the site in New Road, though there are good footways along High Street and cycling is possible by using the road surface. A Transport Assessment will be required to identify the impact on surrounding transport networks, including examining cumulative impacts of this site and the adjacent 365. Improved bus transport service with regular frequency. The proposal will require a road to adoptable standards for both sites in accordance with Bedford Borough Council's highway standards in terms of accommodating the carriageway/footway widths and the required radius kerbs. Consider marking on-street cycle lanes. The proposed pedestrian access should be improved and a minimum of 2.0m in width to link with the existing footway on High Street.

Access to the site is feasible from Bedford Road and High Street road. There is ditch outside of the site and any access to it would need to take this into account. The proposal is not expected to have a significant impact on the overall highway network. However this section of (Old) Bedford Road and the use of the site will be intensified in comparison to existing use. The nearest bus stops with bus shelter present are located on Bedford Road opposite the junction with Park Road approximately 500m from the site. There is, in Bedford Road, a shared footway/cycleway of approximately 1.0-1.4m in width with verges either side of the shared facility. In view of the current national speed limit along (Old) Bedford Road, Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) will apply in respect of determining the visibility splays and the Stopping Sight Distance (SSD). If separate accesses are proposed for each property then as well as the required vehicular sight lines subject of a speed survey, pedestrian visibility splays of 1.8m x 1.8m are also required at the back of the highway boundary on both sides of each access. Bedford Road forms part of the National Cycle Network Route 12 and links with National Cycle Network Route 51 to the south through Great Barford. Hence there is scope to widen the existing 1m shared footway/cycleway along Bedford Road and also outside the site.

The access to the site is proposed between the west side of boundary with no. 15 School Lane and the open space on the west side. The nearest presence of bus stops with bus shelters are located on Bedford Road opposite the junction with Park Road approximately 485m west of the site. The carriageway width of School Lane at this section is approximately 5.6m and immediately outside the site there is a footway of width of 1.8m with grass verges to the east. On the opposite side of site there is also a footway of 1.8m in width. There is no provision for cyclists Although the speed limit on School Lane is 30mph, it is a classified road; therefore the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges (DMRB) will apply in respect of determining the visibility splays and the Stopping Sight Distance (SSD). The proposal will also require a road to adoptable standards in which case the geometry of the design of the road need to be in accordance with Bedford Borough Council’s(BBC’s) highway standards and must be accommodated within the curtilage of the site boundary. The parameters of the adoptable road include widths of carriageway/footways and also radius kerbs of the required junction. There is a scope to introduce a public transport provision for a bus service or an extension to an existing bus service through Park Road and School Lane to ensure that the walking distance to a bus stop is less than 400m in distance. A TA will be required to identify the impact of traffic on the highway and it will introduce improvements for sustainable measures for pedestrians, cyclists and for public transport.
