All aspects of the proposal's design have taken climate change into account. There will be a significant amount of additional planting on the site, resulting in a net gain in biodiversity. Flood risk mitigation has been designed to take into account a future climate change allowance. It is considered that a range of detailed sustainability measures could be secured by planning condition to be delivered at the Reserved Matters stage.

? Potential capacity problem requiring mitigation

The site is located between on the north side of Bedford Road and at the north-east junction with Balls Lane in the village of Willington approximately 4.5 miles east of Bedford town centre. The existing point of access is along Balls Lane. There is limited traffic congestion recorded in the vicinity and the proposal will likely have a limited impact on the highway network in comparison with the traffic flow along Bedford Road. The nearest bus stops are located outside the site on Bedford Road. Footways on both sides are also present albeit that are less than the standard of 2.0m in width. Barford Road from the west of the junction with Wood Lane is part of the Thatcher’s Way cycle route. Footways along Bedford Road should be widened and on street cycle connectivity could be marked along Bedford Road to connect to the Thatcher's Way cycle route.
