A low – medium density of 12 dwellings per hectare has been proposed at the site, taking in consideration the surrounding character area of Stagsden and the existing built form of the site. The site could be redeveloped utilising the existing buildings whilst also providing a landscaping scheme that will ensure residential amenity is not harmed.

The current access is unsuitable/requires improvement

As shown on accompanying drawing reference 42228/A, access into the site is from Church Lane to the south west. This existing access is considered suitable for the existing agricultural use of the site but would require improvement to serve future development.

Development at the site could commence in late 2024 with anticipated completion within two years in 2026. The development of this site will supply the village with much needed additional housing, enhance the setting of the nearby Grade I Listed St Leonards Church and village whilst contributing to sustaining existing community facilities.

Any scheme at the site shall be accompanied by a sustainable urban drainage strategy to mitigate against any potential future flood risk and seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout both the construction and operational phases of the development. Renewable energy will be considered as part of the detailed design process of the proposed dwellings.

There are three existing vehicle access points. The two access points into the site from Church Lane to the south west are considered suitable for the existing agricultural use of the site but would require minor improvement to serve future development. The third access on High Street provides direct pedestrian access to the closest bus stop just 200m south on High Street, serving hourly services for routes 41 and 830. The footways are present on either side of High Street and outside the site on Church Lane. No significant congestion in the vicinity of the nearby A422, however data for Church Lane is not available. There are no designated bicycle lanes or cycling friendly roads in the site's proximity, however cycling is possible using the road surface. Consider marking on street cycle lanes.

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

Access onto Westfield Road. Oakley has moderate traffic most of the time but the size of this development is unlikely to worsen it. Number 51 bus runs to Bedford every 30 minutes approx 600m from the site. It is 500m to the nearest pavement further east along Westfield Rd and there is not space to extend this to the site. There is no pedestrian or cycle activity however Westfield Road only serves a handful of homes, the nearest footway is 500m to the east Consider wider cycle improvements around Oakley (e.g. upgrading some pavements to cycle/pedestrian paths) to potentially relieve congestion.

It is anticipated that development could start on the site within 12-18 months of the plan being adopted (2024-25). The site portrays no planning constraints that could hinder its delivery and the proposed 10-12 dwellings could be completed by 2028. The site portrays a logical and sustainable site that can contribute to the much-needed local housing need within the area. It is an infill site situation between residential areas of Sharnbrook to the north and the east. The site has excellent transport links to nearby Bedford and the surrounding wider highway network whilst also being sited within close walking and cycling proximity to Sharnbrook High Street.

Any scheme at the site shall be accompanied by a sustainable urban drainage strategy to mitigate against any potential future flood risk and seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout both the construction and operational phases of the development. Renewable energy will be considered as part of the detailed design process of the proposed dwellings.

Access to the site is feasible from Mill Road, which is a 30mph speed limit road. Mill Road can be mildly congested, however the potential development would not have a significant impact. A bus stop is located adjacent to the site. There is no footway immediately fronting the site, but there is a 1.8m footway on the other side of the road. There are no formal cycle tracks and cycling is possible only by using the road surface. Consider marking on-street cycle lanes.

The site is located in the village of Bletsoe, on Coplowe Lane approximately 8 miles north of Bedford town centre. The site is accessed from a proposed new access point along Coplowe Lane. Surrounding traffic appears light and the development would not cause significant problems. The closest bus stop is located almost directly outside of the site. A footway is present adjacent to the north corner of the site however this may need improvement. Should it be required, alternative pedestrian/cycle access into Bletsoe can also be obtained via The Avenue to the west. There are no formal cycleways serving the site, however cycling is possible by using the quiet roads in the vicinity. Improvement of pedestrian access would be needed - either via provision of a footpath extension along the frontage of the site or via the alternative access point.

x Serious capacity constraint

The site is located on the west side of Souldrop Road in the village of Sharnbrook approximately 8.8 miles north of Bedford town centre. Access to the site is feasible via Souldrop Road, however further assessment is needed to determine whether Souldrop Road can handle this level of traffic and as such, widening may be required. Due to the size of the development, two access points may also be necessary. There is moderate traffic congestion nearby at peak times and this scale of potential development would have an impact. The nearest bus stop is located approximately 450m south of the site on High Street. The nearest footways are close to the junction of Souldrop Rd and High St. Cycling is possible only by using the road surface. The size of the proposed development needs careful examination and further investigation, including investigation into the requirement for more than one access point. In this context, traffic modelling will need to be undertaken, as part of a Transport Assessment, to identify the traffic impact on Souldrop Road, High Street and Souldrop Road/High Street junction. 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. Connection to existing footways to the south along High Street are required. Marking on of road cycle lanes shoudl be considered

Late 2024 – Mid 2025. It is anticipated that the development can be built out in one phase and will provide a well-designed and sustainable housing development to meet with local need. The development will also sustain and enhance existing services and community facilities within Wootton.

Any scheme at the site shall be accompanied by a sustainable urban drainage strategy and seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions throughout development. Renewable energy will be considered as part of the design process of the proposed dwellings.

Access from Wootton Road on eastern edge of site. There are approx 4 bus services (2 routes) per hour stopping within 150m of the site. No footway on the development side of the road, narrow (1m) footway on the opposite side of the road. A traffic-free track that appears to be commonly used by cycles starts within 350m, but legal use needs confirming. This connects to a mostly off-road cycle route to Bedford, access for which is 1.2km away if not using the track. A pedestrian crossing on Wootton Road would be recommended to connect the site to the existing footway. There is scope for the footway to be widened from 1m to 2m if needed. Check ownership/access rights of cycle track 350m NE of the site.

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

The site is located east of The Causeway in Carlton approximately 8 miles northwest of Bedford town centre. Access to the site is feasible from the southwest corner of the site onto The Causeway. There is moderate peak time congestion in the vicinity and the development could exacerbate this. There is a bus stop directly outside of the site. There is a narrow footway on the other side of the Causeway and cycling is possible only on quiet roads in the vicinity. Pedestrian footway development along The Causeway in front of the site to enable accessibility to bus stop locations for pedestrians. Improved bus transport service with regular frequency and Real-Time information. Consider marking onstreet cycle lanes.
