The proposals will comply with policy 51S, for example dwellings will seek to achieve a reduction in carbon emissions, solar panels will be considered where viable as will the installation of the electric car charging points. Water efficiency will be factored into the proposals.

The current access point is very overgrown with tall trees and is therefore not easily visible from the road (Church Lane). There is significant traffic in the area but good PT and pedestrian connections could improve could help mitigate impact from the site. There is a bus service to Bedford every 30 minutes within 150m (number 51 bus) and a pavement on Church Ln opposite the site. Improving cycle connectivity in the area could help reduce the congestion seen. On other roads in Oakley where the pavements are wider it may be possible to change some to cycle/pedestrian paths in aid of this. For this location specifically, a clearly marked crossing point for pedestrians would be beneficial to connect the site to the existing pavement.
no noise concerns
The site has been excluded from further assessment at Stage 1 because its location is not in accordance with the development strategy.

The proposed point of access into the site is located along the southern boundary, and located to the east of the pumping station, and has been carefully sited whilst considering adjacent access points serving development on the opposite side of the carriageway.

The proposal will comply with policy 51S, for example the proposals layout will be designed in order to maximise natural ventilation, cooling and solar gain with living quarters situated to maximise sunlight. Tree planting will be used where suitable, with open space used to provide a net biodiversity gain. The proposals will seek to achieve a 19% reduction in carbon emissions below that which Building Regulations stipulate. Solar panels will be considered where viable as will the installation of the electric car charging points.

The development is located on agricultural land about 1 mile to the east of the centre of Turvey. Access is indicated to be provided via A428 Bedford Road, a single carriageway of about 6.3m width. A428 does not show any sign of congestion throughout the week. There is a medium quality footpath on the opposite side of the road but none on the side of the development. This also acts as a shared cycle path. The closest bus stop is at the eastern corner of the site serving bus route 41 which connects to Bedford/Northampton once per hour. The quality and width of the footpath could be improved. Provision of a crossing to the adjacent footpath or a new footpath along the frontage of the site.
pumping works needs to be considered

The proposals will accord with Policy 51S. The proposals will provide a net increase in biodiversity, additional tree planting will be used where suitable. Dwellings will seek to achieve a reduction in carbon emissions, solar panels will be considered where viable as will the installation of the electric car charging points. The proposals will provide sustainable drainage solutions, and water efficiency will be factored into the proposals.

Access is proposed via Parkside. This should be suitable however it would be best to implement a priority junction for what would then be a spur of Parkside. No significant traffic congestion in the area, and this development is unlikely to have anymore than a moderate impact. There are bus stops approximatly 100m away where the number 50 bus provides a roughly hourly service between Bedford and Rushden. There is a pavement on Parkside which should be continued onto the site, however it currently lacks a dropped kerb at a crossing point. There is a shared cycle/pedestrian path alongside the A6 approx 100m away towards Clapham. Implement a priority junction on Parkside as existing to allow uninterrupted traffic flow between Radwell Road and the site. Continue the existing pavement into the site and include dropped kerbs.

The settlement in which the site is located is sustainable, providing key services both within the settlement and for surrounding rural communities with public transport links to close by towns. This will limit the need for out of settlement trips in a private vehicle, thus reducing emissions. Tree planting will be used where suitable, with open space used to provide a net biodiversity gain. Dwellings will seek to achieve a reduction in carbon emissions, solar panels will be considered where viable as will the installation of the electric car charging points. Water efficiency will be factored into the proposals.

The site is located on the south side of Mill Road east in the village of Sharnbrook, approximately 7.3 miles north of Bedford town centre. The access is proposed from Mill Road, which is a 30mph road, on the northern boundary of the site. Traffic congestion is moderate on the road along the frontage of the site however the potential development would not have a significant impact. The closest bus stop is located 220m west from the site. There is a footway of 1.4m outside of the site and no formal cycle tracks. Cycling is feasible by using the road surface. The proposal will require a road 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. Consider marking onstreet cycle lanes. Crossing facilities for pedestrians to reach the bus stop on the other side of the road, are necessary.
