There are a number of accesses to the site. The accesses have been marked with the blue dots on the site plan. A description of each access is as follows: 1. Via an existing road to the north of the site on the western boundary of Wootton Upper School. This provides direct access to Hall End Road. 2. Via adjoining land to the east of the site which provides access to Cranfield Road. This adjoining land is within the ownership of Bedfordshire County Council and this land has previously been promoted for development. There are two fields which could provide access and these have been marked on the plan with blue dots, although the exact location of the access could be anywhere across these fields. 3. Via an access to the north east of the site which provides access to Church Row and Jenkyn Road.

The land is available and therefore the land could be developed immediately or it could be development in parts or as part of a phased development.
This site is adjacent to Wootton Wood which is designated as a County Wildlife Site. Wootton Wood extends to approximately 40 hectares (100 acres) of woodland which has historic and ecological importance. Wootton Wood is also within the ownership of Clapham Park Farms Limited, the same owner as this land which has been submitted. As part of any development of this land submitted, the adjoining woodland could be enhanced , for example the woodland could potentially be used as a site for carbon offsetting or to achieve net biodiversity gain. We would seek to ensure any building on the site is energy efficient and includes renewable energy where possible, for example installing solar PV energy and air source heat pumps. The design and construction of the buildings should utilise low embodied energy materials. If the whole site was developed we envisage some commercial development within the overall layout and design to encourage local employment opportunities to reduce travel to other areas of the Borough and further afield. The development of this site will provide direct access to Wootton Upper School (which forms the northern boundary) which will reduce traffic along Hall End Road and Church Road. A link road could extend through this site and then further east, through land within the ownership of Bedfordshire County Council to Cranfield Road. This link road could be utilised by the residents of the Berry Farm development which is situated to the east of Cranfield Road and the existing development to the north and south of Fields Road.

The site proposes three accesses, via existing road to the north of the site on the western boundary of Wootton Upper School to Hall End Road, via adjoining land to the east to Cranfield Road and via an access to the north east of the site which provides access to Church Row and Jenkyn Road. This provides good access, however, the site is likely to generate a large amount of traffic, which, along with significant traffic already generated by the school, could cause congestion and safety issues on the existing road network. Hall End Road / Church Road and Cranfield Road are both on a bicyclefriendly route, but there are no designated cycle lanes. There are no footpaths on the short access roads that would connect the new development and Hall End Road and Church Road, but are footpaths on the other side of Hall End Road / Church Road and Cranfield Road. A Transport Assessment would be required to understand the impact on the local highway network as together with the other nearby sites in the vicinity, significant traffic generation can be expected. On the access roads directly off Hall End Road and Church Road, footpaths should be added with crossing facilities on Hall End Road / Church Road and Cranfield Road.
school to the north would need to be considered
The site has been excluded from further assessment at Stage 1 because its location is not in accordance with the development strategy.

As part of the development of this site, an extension to the neighbouring activity centre to the south could be provided. We also recommend the northern area of the site is utilised for open space and landscaping to achieve a net gain in biodiversity. The amount can be determined depending on local need.

The existing access to the site is to the south east of the site which provides access to Molivers Lane. There is the potential for further access to be provided through adjoining agricultural land to the south of site. We are aware this area of land to the south has previously been submitted to the Council for potential development as part of the Call for Sites exercise. There is the further potential for this site to be accessed through the adjoining agricultural land to the east to provide access to Oakley Road.

The land is available and therefore the land could be developed immediately or it could be development in parts or as part of a phased development.
We suggest that 50% of the site could be developed. The remaining 50% could be utilised for landscaping, carbon offsetting and achieving a net gain in biodiversity. The undeveloped area of land could be in the northern area of the site. The site is immediately adjacent to other woodland and the Scouts activity centre to the south. As part of the development of this site the additional land on this site could also be utilised to provide additional facilities for the village such as land for outside recreation / sports facilities if required and a potential extension to the existing neighbouring facilities. Any development of this site will include renewable energy technology such as solar PV and air source heat pumps. The construction of the development should utilise low embodied energy materials. We envisage commercial development within the development of the site to enable local employment opportunities to reduce travel. The site is immediately adjacent to a bridleway which provides access to a number of footpaths and open spaces for potential residents.

The site is located north of Northampton Road and Chestnut Avenue in the Bromham area approximately 3.5 miles west of Bedford town centre. The existing access to the site is to the southeast of the site which provides access to Molivers Lane, with a secondary potential access from Northampton Road. The scale of the development could cause cause significant traffic generation, however there is no current traffic data available for nearby roads. The closest bus stop is located approximately 400m east of the site on Springfield Drive. There is no footway and no formal cycle track on the approach to the site, however Molivers Lane has footways on both sides, and nearby roads are quiet and conducive to cycling. There is the potential for further access to be provided through adjoining agricultural land to the south of the site. A Transport Assessment would be needed to assess the impact of the development on the highway network. Construction of footways/pedestrian access to link to existing facilities would be required.

The development of this site should utilised low embodied energy materials. The design of the building should utilise renewable energy technology such as air source heat pumps and solar PV. The site is directly adjacent to an existing solar PV farm which is situated to the north. The site provides direct access to the Baulk which provides good access to other public rights of way. This site is a brownfield site. The site was previously used as part of a Prison of War camp and now the buildings are used for agricultural purposes. The development of this brownfield site will have minimal environmental impact and could be used to achieve net gain for biodiversity.

Access is proposed onto The Baulk, however this is a PRoW with no right of way for vehicular traffic, not a highway. No traffic in the area. There is a bus stop just over 1km away however it has very irregular services. The only pedestrian access is The Baulk, a PRoW - however if this is used for vehicular access as proposed then there would then be no pedestrian access. There is no specific cycle connectivity however there are several paved PRoWs in the area which would be suitable for cycling. The Baulk is poorly surfaced and currently has no right of way for vehicular traffic. For this development to be feasible, The Baulk would need to become an adopted public highway with assoicated improvements in paving, width and maintenance. However even if this were possible, it would then remove the only pedestrian access available. The extent of the works required would be very large and require consultation with the council and highway authorities.
some industrial activity immediately to the south east of the site
