The site is within walking distance to local amenities, (shops, pubs, church and a local primary school). The site is also directly on a main bus route, with regular buses to Bedford town center. Any development would be completed to the highest energy efficient standards, including use of both renewables and structural insulation.

Access will be as existing, however for this size of development it will need to be widened and paved. Little traffic in the area and a development of this size is likely to make a difference, however in conjunction with other neighbouring ones may contribute to congestion. There is a bus stop 50m away where the number 50 bus provides an hourly service to Bedford. There is a pavement directly outside the site. There is no cycle connectivity however the pavement on Milton Road is wide and well paved so could easily become a shared path. A Transport Assessment is required to assess cumulative impacts of this site and others proposed in the vicinity. Widen existing access point to make it more suitable for a development of this size. Suggest upgrading the pavement on Milton Road to a shared path.
