x The proposal has the potential to cause harm to heritage assets. This harm may range from low to high. There may be options to avoid, reduce or mitigate this harm and where sites have not been ruled out altogether for other reasons, further assessment will be undertaken to more fully explore impacts on significance and options for harm reduction and mitigation. This further assessment may ultimately lead to the conclusion that the site should not be allocated.

? Potential access requiring mitigation

+ No capacity issues

The current access would be suitable for a small development (up to 20 homes). A larger development would require a larger access point. No significant traffic congestion in the area. There are bus stops 300m away where the number 50 bus provides an approximatly hourly service between Bedford and Rushden. There is a shared cycle/pedestrian path directly outside the site along the A6/Bedford Rd frontage. The location of the access point is suitable, however the size and form of the access itself will depend on the size of the development. Any medium or large development would require a wider junction. Connect the site to the existing shared path.
