Highway comments. For more detailed assessment see HELAA supporting document. www.bedford.gov.uk/LocalPlan2040

Current access passes through existing industrial estate from Wymington Lane to the West. If Goosey Lodge Estate access is used, access would require minimal work. However, if the site requires vehicle access North to Bedford Road (A6), more changes to the highway are required. Moderate traffic peaks occur at lunchtimes and PM, scale of development not known to comment on impact. There are no footways in the surrounding area. The stretch of the A6 to the north has a footway on its southern side. The closest bus stop is 650m North of the site close to the crossing between Wymington Lane and A6. While there are no official cycling routes in the area, the rural landscape contains unofficial paths through the fields which could be improved to provide a link to the A6.
