The site is divided into two portions and development is assumed to provide landscaping within the development area. The owner could devote a significant portion of the development site, or even one of the two portions, to solar reflective panels that would provide a large part of the energy requirements for all other homes developed. The owner will ensure that all current building regulations and all energy efficiency standards set by The Council are met.

The site is currently a greenfield area, adjacent to A421, covering two separate areas. The one in the north does not have access indicated, while the one on the south has access indicated on its northern edge. There are no roads facing the development other than the A421 to the East. As such, the development would need to include new roads to connect to the existing network. The A421 is a dual carriageway with no pedestrian or cycle provision. The closest bus stop is approximately 100m from the development as the crow flies, connecting to Bedford and Cambridge at 2-3 buses per hour frequency, however, accessing it would require crossing facilities across the A421. The second closest is about 600m away as the crow flies, but only running twice per day. There is a segregated cycle path on the other side of the A421, approximately 100-150m from the development. Connection currently would be circuitous via Roxton Road. The proposal for 200 dwellings will have a significant impact on highway network.The development only proposes residential use. New roads would need to be built to connect the site to the road network. A TA is needed to assess the impact on the road network. Connection across the A421 to Bedford Road would potentially be useful.

Access to the site is feasible from Bedford Road which is an adopted and classified type C road of national speed limit which is 60mph for a single carriageway road. The nearest bus stops with bus shelter present are located on Bedford Road opposite the junction with Park Road which is in close proximity to the site (200m). There is a shared footway/cycleway outside the site along Bedford Road of approximately 1.6m in width with grass verges either side of the footway of varying widths between 1m – 1.7m. Reducing the current speed limit on Bedford Road from 60mph to 30mph through the process of a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO). A Transport Assessment (TA) will be required to identify the impact of traffic. Adopted parking standards would need to be adhered to in order to provide appropriate levels of car parking on site. It appears that the visibility splays of 4.5m x 215m cannot be provided. However given the alignment of Bedford Road and assuming the approval of speed reduction to 30mph by BBC, the visibility splays of 4.5m x 90m can be achieved provided that the existing boundary hedges/vegetation are set back behind the visibility splays. A pedestrian crossing island is required on Park Road at the junction with Bedford Road. Cycle mitigation will needed as well.

Access from Roxton Rd in the SW corner of the site. Very little traffic in the area. The closest regular bus service is the 905 stopping approx 600m away with a half-hourly service between Bedford and Cambridge. There is a pavement directly outside the site, however it is very narrow and there are no clear facilities for cyclists. A shared cycle/pedestrian path begins further up Roxton Rd about 200m from the site entrance. Widen the pavement on Roxton Rd outside the site to make it more accessible for all users. Also redesignate it is a shared cycle/pedestrian path so that it links with the existing cycle path 200m further up Roxton Road.

Vehicular access will be off New Road which presents no problems. Some 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 with a regular service is approximately 800m away on Bedford Road in the centre of the village - this is dependent on pedestrian access being constructed onto Addingtons Road in the SW corner of the site. At this stop the 905 bus provides a half-hourly service between Bedford and Cambridge. Pedestrian access onto New Road would not be feasible or appropriate, however a separate pedestrian access in the SW of the site onto Addingtons Rd would provide a reasonable connection to the rest of the village and local public transport. There is no specific cycle connectivity but access to the off-road cycle track to Bedford Town Centre is nearby, accessible via some quiet roads. Include a specific pedestrian/cycle access point in the SW corner of the site, allowing pedestrian access to the village and public transport. Better signpost the route to the nearby access point of the Sandy-Bedford cycle track.

All development will be in accordance with Building Regulations and Council policies. The owner is unlikely to be the ultimate developer but would consider prioritising schemes that optimised energy efficient homes, including a requirement for all southerly aspect pitched roofs to have solar panels. That may of course depend on continuing grant support at viable levels.

The site is located at Wood Lane approximately 750m south of the junction with Sandy Road/Bedford Road in the village of Willington approximately 4.5 miles east of Bedford town centre. Wood Lane does not provide suitable access for this scale of development and the proposal will intensify its use as well as impact on the immediate junction with Bedford Road. The nearest bus stops present are located on Bedford Road and Station Rd both of which are located approximately 800m north of the site. There are no footways either side of Wood Lane and no specific provisions for cyclists, although local roads appear quiet. The proposal would require Wood Lane to be rebuilt in accordance with Bedford Borough Council’s (BBC) standards which is likely to be prohibitive. This would require construction of footways on wood lane and provision for cyclists.

Al development will be in accordance with current building regulations and Council policies relating to energy efficiency. The owner will probably not be the ultimate developer. Nevertheless the owner will consider prioritising proposed schemes that maximise energy efficient homes.

The site is located west of Cranfield Road in the village of Wootton approximately 6 miles south-west of Bedford town centre. The site proposes an access via Cranfield Road. The scale of the proposal could cause moderate problems with existing traffic congestion. The distance from the site to nearest bus stops is approximately 300m. There are no footways either side of Cranfield Road and no specific provisions for cyclists, apart from the bicyclefriendly road. Given the scale of the development a Transport Assessment will be required to gauge the traffic assessment and identify mitigation measures as well as improve sustainable modes of transport including walking and cycling.

Through a new residential development site being built to the west of the subject land. The Council sold the adjacent land for development and reserved access into the subject site off the estate roads that were to be developed. The plan dated 21/02/2014 shows possible access routes into the site before the adjacent site was developed. Development of the adjacent site is now well underway including new estate roads.

The access to the site is through Wootton Green which is unpaved road and would need to be upgraded as part of the development. The scale of the proposal could cause moderate problems with existing traffic congestion. The distance from the site to the bus stops is approximately 300m. There are no footways either side of Wootton Green. Cranfield Road is classified as a cycle friendly road. The proposal will require an adoptable road in accordance with BBC’s highway standards. A Transport Assessment will be required to identify the impact of development on the highway with mitigation measures as well as improve sustainable modes of transport including walking, cycling and public transport.

Access is proposed via an existing private road linking to Elstow Road. This private road would need to be widened, repaved, have a pavement installed and no longer be used by the neighbouring car hire centre as parking for it to be feasible. Moderate traffic congestion in the area. Bus stops 100m away provide four services per hour into the centre of Bedford, and less frequent services to Hitchin, Luton and Shortstown. There is currently no pedestrian access so a pavement will have to be included with the proposed access road.The Bedford- Sandy cycle path has an access point approx. 800m from the site, accessible via mostly quiet residential roads. The private road linking to Elstow Road would need to be widened, repaved, include a pavement and not be used for parking for this site to be feasible. This probably is possible but would be very difficult.

The proposed scheme will address climate change through appropriate adaptation and mitigation measures in the design. Where possible the dwellings will utilise low carbon building materials. The dwellings will be energy efficient and will be designed for comfort by balancing passive cooling design strategies which maximise comfort and minimise energy use during the warmer summers, with adequate levels of insulation for the warmer winters. The dwellings will be constructed so they are weather tight, robust enough to withstand extreme weather, and with foundations which are appropriate for their lifetime. The design will also include measures for water efficiency and effective drainage.
