The site is located on the edge of a sustainable settlement, adjacent to a good school, and bus services and facilities within walking distance. Families whose children attend the school but live outside of Wootton, necessitating travel by car, will have an opportunity to relocate closer to the school and allowing for walking. Locating new homes close to facilities means that residents can walk and avoid adding pollution to the air. The developer also commits to providing upgraded bus stops in Wootton which will help make sustainable travel more attractive to use. The proposals of 81 dwellings, represents approximately 50% of the site with the other half remaining undeveloped as part of a ecologically managed area (in perpetuity). The developer commits to providing a significant contribution towards woodland planting as part of the Forest of Marston Vale. In addition, the properties will provide car charging ports to future proof the future of electric car use.

The site is a Greenfield site and located in the village of Wootton approximately 6 miles south-west of Bedford town centre. The sites proposed access is along Hall End Road and is reportedly considered acceptable by BBC highways through application 19/00894/MAO. There is moderate traffic congestion along Hall End Road and the development could worsen this. The nearest bus stop is located 550m away on Cause End Road. Acceptable footway is located on the opposite side of Hall End Road and it is also considered a bicycle friendly route. Provide crossing to the footway on the opposite side of Hall End Road. A Transport Assessment would be required to assess the impact of this scale of development on the local highway network.

The site is located on the edge of a sustainable settlement. The site is located entirely within Flood Zone 1 - lowest risk. Schools, bus stops and other services and facilities are located within walking distance reducing the need to travel by car and thus reducing greenhouse gases. Properties will be built to a high quality standard including excellent energy performance. Properties will include vehicle electric charging points to future proof the move towards less polluting forms of private travel. Potential off-site improvements would include upgrading existing bus stops to make them more attractive to use. The development would include new tree planting and open spaces alongside ecological improvements to ensure a net biodiversity gain.

Potential access as a new arm to the roundabout on Lovell Rd. There is some congestion in and around Oakley but the site is in a good location for PT and walking. There is a bus service to Bedford every 30 minutes within 150m of the site (number 51 bus) and a good pavement with zebra crossing directly outside the site. No cycle connectivity but redesignating wider pavements in the area as cycle/pedestrians paths could improve this. Heavy traffic in the area means that more should be done to encourage other forms of transport. Upgrading some pavements in the area to cycle/pedestrian paths will encourage greater cycling, particuarly along Lovell Rd and Station Rd.

The site is located on the edge of a sustainable settlement and has been allocated in a latest draft version of Willington Neighbourhood Plan. The site is located entirely within Flood Zone 1 - lowest risk. Schools, bus stops and other services and facilities are located within walking distance reducing the need to travel by car and thus reducing greenhouse gases. Properties will be built to a high quality standard including excellent energy performance. Properties will include vehicle electric charging points to future proof the move towards less polluting forms of private travel. Potential off-site improvements would include upgrading existing bus stops to make them more attractive to use. The development would include new tree planting, a boulevard along Sandy Road, and open spaces alongside ecological improvements to ensure a net biodiversity gain. The development will also incorporate a 'woodland walk' adjacent to Wood Lane.

Access would be off Sandy Road. The development will likely increase traffic congestion past the numerous junctions with Wood Lane/Barford Road/Bedford Road/Station Road and hence make either entering or leaving these junctions more difficult. The nearest bus stops are located on Bedford Road and Station Road both approximately 300m west of the site. There is a footway of approximate width of 1.0m with a verge of 1.0m opposite the site along Sandy Road. Barford Road from the west of the junction with Wood Lane is part of the Thatcher’s Way cycle route. A Transport Statement will be required to identify the impact of development on the highway with mitigation measures, focussing on the safety impact on nearby junctions. Footways along Sandy Road should be widened and a crossing provided. On street cycle connectivity could be marked along Sandy Road to connect to the Thatcher's Way cycle route.

The site has been excluded from further assessment at Stage 1 because the site is already allocated for residential development in the Willington Neighbourhood Plan (Policy W4).
