x The proposal has the potential to cause harm to heritage assets. This harm may range from low to high. There may be options to avoid, reduce or mitigate this harm and where sites have not been ruled out altogether for other reasons, further assessment will be undertaken to more fully explore impacts on significance and options for harm reduction and mitigation. This further assessment may ultimately lead to the conclusion that the site should not be allocated.

0 Proposal is not employment related.

Access will be via the Ampthill Road/Eastville Road signalised junction already used for access to Morrisons and Aldi. Although this is a large junction given the scale of the development further assessment is required. A new junction for secondary access could be beneficial to lessen the burden. There is moderate traffic congestion in the area which could be impacted by this scale of development. There are several bus stops along the Ampthill Rd frontage of the site where the number 2 bus provides three services per hour, and less frequent services are provided by the number 44, 68 and 42 buses. There is a wide and well-paved pavement running along the Ampthill Road frontage in addition to a bus lane which is signed for use by cyclists. Further assessment should be undertaken of the impact of the proposed development on the existing Ampthill Rd/Eastville Road junction. Consider including a secondary vehicular access point to lessen the burden on the existing junction.

Likely to require contaminated land assessment and remediation if required.

concerns include rail noise, commercial activity to north including supermarket and EMR

Site does not fall within the boundary of a MSA.

Site suitable for allocation potentially along with site 436 to the south (Technology House) for a mix of residential and business uses. Opportunities also to provide open space with public access in a part of town where this is much needed. Key issues to be addressed include: Masterplan to be prepared taking account of noise environment (railway and neighbouring uses), Provision of new urban park, Safe pedestrian connection to Cauldwell School, Access strategy, Assessment of ground contamination / remediation strategy, Site specific flood risk assessment. Site is proposed for allocation in combination with Site 436 HOU3 Land at Ampthill Road, Bedford.
