We envisage TwinWoods having a full range of facilities and infrastructure to support what will be a significant community in its own right. Our proposals place sustainability and climate change at the forefront of our approach and the development will embrace the different routes to achieving a net zero carbon development. The design and construction of buildings will embed high energy-efficiency and low utilities demand. A potential new railway station at the heart of the community gives opportunities for sustainable travel and relieves pressure on Bedford itself. There is a strong opportunity to bake-in sustainability at the outset, not just with walking and cycling routes and provision of high-quality bus routes, but also the co-location of key activities across the new community. This includes the provision of a range of local jobs on the site within easy commuting distance of homes, so not all residents out-commute each day, as well as strong cultural, recreational and shopping facilities, schools, health and leisure facilities and generous open space in walkable, vibrant, sociable neighbourhoods.

The site has been excluded from further assessment at Stage 1. A very small section of the site is allocated for residential development in the Milton Ernest Neighbourhood Plan - Policy ME H1. The majority of the site is not in a location that is in accordance with the development strategy. The site has been separately assessed - see New Settlement Site Assessments supporting document.
