The site is located north of Northampton Road west of Bromham area approximately 4 miles west of Bedford town centre. Access to the site is feasible from Northampton Road, which is a 40mph road along the frontage of the site. Northampton Road does not appear to have any significant traffic congestion issues, however a development of this size could cause some moderate issues. The closest bus stop is located approximately 450m south of the site. There are no footways or formal cycle lane outside of the site. A Transport Asssessment would be needed to assess the impact of the development on the highway network and recommend satisfactory facilities for both pedestrians and cyclists, likely comprising a shared pedestrian/cycle path. Given the number of homes proposed, it is likely that more than one access point will be necessary off Northampton Road. The proposal will require roads to adoptable standards in accordance with Bedford Borough Council's highway standards in terms of accommodating the carriageway/footway widths and the required radius kerbs. Potential reduction of the speed limit of Oakley Road in the frontage of the site to 30mph.
only noise concern is A428
The site has been excluded from further assessment at Stage 1 because its location is not in accordance with the development strategy.

Access for both land parcels will be obtained from the A600 (The High Road)
Development will commence within 3 years of outline planning permission, with completion by year 5 at the latest.

Within 3 years on the basis that planning permission is granted close to the adoption date.
The proposals will accord with the Council’s Local Plan climate change policies. Gladman welcomes a meeting with the Council to discuss the Council’s climate change policies and how the scheme can be shaped to meet those targets. An initial concept plan has been provided as part of this site submission. This is indicative at this stage but can used as basis for early discussions on the design of the proposals, including climate change objectives.

The site is severed by A600 High Road to form two parcels of land to the west and east which are bordered to the north by Old Harrowden Road and Harrowden Lane respectively. The site lies some 3.5 km (2.18 miles) southeast of Bedford town centre. The level difference between each land parcel and A600 High Road could be a significant barrier to achieving safe and suitable accesses but there is no obvious reason why this cannot be overcome through civil engineering solutions. Old Harrowden Road and Harrowden Lane are narrow and have no footway pavement thereby making them less suitable than A600 High Road as locations for the site accesses. The nearest bus stop is located on High Road close to the site. There is footway/cycleway on the west side of A600 High Road. There is no significant traffic congestion on A600 but the cumulative traffic impact of development sites in the area could over the years introduce congestion issues particularly on route to Bedford town centre. National Highways would need to be consulted with regard to the A421/A600 junction. Suggested Mitigation Measures: • Understand the cumulative traffic impact of development sites in the area; • Engineering solutions to the level difference between site and A600 High Road; • Right turn lanes may be required for traffic turning right into the site accesses from A600 High Road; • The layout of the site access junctions with the A600 should slow speeds and improve the highway context as it merges with the village. • Extend 30 mph speed limit on A600 high Road northwards to a point north of Harrowden Lane; • Connections to the existing and 'new' parts of the village, north across A421/A600 junction, Harrowden Lane (E and W) and ROW by walking and cycling should be considered and improved; • As the proposed accesses abut highway, proposals could consider a scheme that provides accesses as well as improving highway safety including visibility.
Noise assessment regarding noise from the bypass would be required.
The site has been excluded from further assessment at Stage 1 because its location is not in accordance with the development strategy. Site 7467 is located in Shortstown and it is proposed to allocate the land for c.165 dwellings. The Council received a Heritage Appraisal which identified less than substantial harm to four grade II listed buildings (at the lower end of the spectrum) located in Harrowden. Whilst visiting the site however, Officers did not share the view that the impact to each individual asset would be uniform, and did not ultimately agree with the scale of harm to assets identified within the HA. Where HIAs were submitted on behalf of the promoter, Officers visited site and complied their own assessment using the findings of the HIA as a basis for the report. In this instance, the same approach was considered appropriate to properly explain the reasoning behind the difference in opinion. Ultimately, the Officers’ assessment found a larger degree of cumulative harm to heritage assets than that identified in the HIA, and this was passed to the Policy team for consideration.
