Development will be to a high quality, ensuring that unwarranted carbon emissions are kept to a minimum. The protection of the open space will ensure that the site contributes towards the provision of green space and a positive green environment is maintained. This will also represent an enhancement in terms of biodiversity, as ecological habitats will be able to establish if the grazing on the site ceases. Additionally, as the site is located outside the Flood Zones 2 and 3, as is located on higher ground than the Flood Zones, it is unlikely that increased flooding associated with climate change will impact upon the site.

The site is located on the south side of High Street in the village of Great Barford and lies some 8.0 km (4.97 miles) northeast of Bedford town centre. High Street is a classified road with a posted speed limit of 30 mph and hence would require forward visibility splays of 2.4m x 90m x 90m. It is not possible to achieve these splays both to the left and right on High Street due to bends in the road and existing properties within the visibility splays. This significant barrier to access cannot be viably mitigated. There is footway pavement on High Street but no on/off cycle route in the vicinity. The nearest bus stop is located on High Street adjacent to the proposed site access. There is no significant traffic congestion on the local road network surrounding the site. Suggested Mitigation Measures: The visibility issue cannot viably be overcome unless speed surveys demonstrate speeds of less than 37mph and HGV's of less than 5%, when MfS visibility would be permissible (43m).
No major concerns.
The site has been excluded from further assessment at Stage 1 because its location is not in accordance with the development strategy.
