The development will use carbon efficient building materials in its construction as well as utilising efficient energy and water systems internally alongside solar panels on the roof to create energy which can be used by the building/s. Externally there will be bicycle provision to encourage sustainable modes of transport and electric car charging points as well as a link to the footpath onto Chawston Lane. The scheme will also incorporate landscaping and provide a net gain in biodiversity.

The site is currently greenfield and employment, while the proposal aims to convert it to employment only. The site would be accessed from Chawston Lane to the North, a one lane single carriageway with no footpath or verges on either side of the road. Depending on the type of employment proposed, the small width of the road could become an issue. Chawston Lane currently connects to the A1 approximately 150m East of the site entrance. However, as part of a scheme from Highways England to improve the A428 between Black Cat and Caxton Gibbet, this junction will be closed off and a new link road connected to the A1 providing a new safer access via Roxton Rd roundabout. There are a number of dirt paths through the fields, suitable for cycling, in the vicinity. The closest bus stop is 500m from the site with 112 Ivel Sprinter stopping twice a day heading to St Neots / Biggleswade while the second closest 1km away serves the 905 connecting Bedford and Cambridge approximately twice per hour. A Transport Asssessment would be needed to assess the impact of the development on the local highway network. Improvement of pedestrian and cycle access would be needed - provision of a footpath and designated cycle path.
employment use may impact on resiential amenity
This site is within a village setting and not prominently visible from the strategic highway network. It would be intrusive and impact on Chawston village. It is therefore not a preferred location for an employment site.

Access east onto Kimbolton Rd. No traffic in the area. There is a bus stop 500m away but it is not clearly marked, only has 4 services per day, and there is no pedestrian connection between it and the site. There is no pedestrian or cycle access to the site, although lots of quiet roads which could be used for cycling. Importantly, there is no pedestrian connection to the bus network or any other local services. Scale of development unlikely warrants cost of mitigations/improvements

Access from Duloe Road frontage of both site parcels. The 29 bus service running once a day serves the site, located just east or west of the site on Duloe Rd. The site has no footways or cycle connections, however the road is relatively straight to the east and provides a link into Eaton Ford. Traffic data indicates there may be some issues with the numbers of vehicles associated with this new development running along Duloe Road. The road is signed as unsuitable for HGVs. Potential upgrades may be required to Duloe Road, given the size of the development and the existing ban on HGVs. Implementing a footway and or installing passing places for vehicles is advised. Check highway ownership. Location/distance signage for cyclists.

Access will be using Green End on the east frontage of the site. No problems accessing the highway but Green End is a narrow single track road with few passing places. Other than that there are no clear signs of congestion in the local area. There is a bus stop 350m away but no pedestrian link to it and it is not clearly marked. There is no direct pedestrian or cycle access to the site however there are extensive cross-country public footpaths nearby and quiet roads which could be used for cycling. Additional passing place on Green Lane to cater for the increase in traffic. Improved visibility of the bus stop on the B660 such as signs and/or road markings. Improvements to nearby public footpaths.

The site is located on the west side of Colmworth Road, west of the village of Little Staughton approximately 10 miles north of Bedford town centre. Access to the site is feasible from the northwest corner of Colmworth Road. Current traffic congestion is already moderate in the area, north of the site towards Green End village. The nearest bus stop is located adjacent to the site on Colmworth Road with low service frequency. There are no footways serving the site at the frontage, but there is a 1.6m footway on the other side of the road. Cycling is possible on-road only. A Transport Assessment will be required to identify the impact of traffic and satisfactory facilities for both pedestrians and cyclists. Improve bus services with regular frequency. 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. A potential second access point in the southeast corner of the site would be necessary. Potential to include footways within the site and investigate cycle lanes on Colmworth Road.

The development proposes to convert the currently business / vacant area East of A1 / A428 junction into a housing and employment site. Access will be provided onto the A428 although due to the size of the development, secondary accesses will almost certainly be required. The A428 is a single carriageway with 1 lane in each direction with significant flows of traffic, which can become congested if an issue arises at adjacent junctions. The potential development would have an impact on the highway in terms of increased pedestrian and vehicular generation. The A1 and A428 are both maintained by Highways England and of 60mph speed limit. Neither road has pedestrian or cycling provision although there is a short segregated cycle path abutting the A1 junction from the other (Western) side that is within 200m of the development. The closest bus stop to the south is 550m from the site serving the 905 connecting Bedford and Cambridge approximately twice per hour. The closest bus stop to the North is at similar distance with occational (less than once an hour) connection to St Neots by bus 63. A Transport Asssessment would be needed to assess the impact of the development on the local highway network, particularly on the A1 / A428 junction. The site is almost certain to require a secondary access point given its scale. Consider the safety implications of egress to the highway network - such as traffic light controls at the access point. Improve public transport accessibility, consider extending bus route into the development if approved and increasing frequency. Improvement of pedestrian and cycle access would be needed - provision of a footpath and designated cycle path, as well as crossing facilities across the A1 and A428.

The site is within a rural location which can help meet local housing need. However, residential development would seek to adopt the code Sustainable Homes which is a set of environmental standards that new houses would have to meet. This would include energy efficiency, waste, materials used in construction, water use. Given that it is not in a highly sustainable location it would be proposed to promote the use of electric cars by ensuring each dwelling provided an electric charging point. In terms of green infrastructure and bio-diversity, development of the site would seek to have a net gain in biodiversity and this would be evidenced through the use of an agreed bio-diversity accounting matric. Also the development would seek to achieve a target of 25% tree canopy cover which would include tree planting but could also include the use of green walls and roofs.

The site is located west of Kimbolton Road in Keysoe Village approximately 9.5 miles north of Bedford town centre. The proposed access point is located on Kimbolton Road. This is a 30 m.p.h speed limit section. The development would not cause significant traffic problems on Kimbolton Road or at the junction Kimbolton Road/Keysoe Row East. The nearest bus stop is located 170m south of the junction with Keysoe Row East. There is no footway along the frontage of the site, but there is on the other side of Kimbolton Road, though this is very narrow. There are no formal cycleways serving the site, cycling is only possible by using the road surface. At least a 2m footway would be required either outside the site by converting the existing verge to a footway along Kimbolton Road to link with the junction of Keysoe Road West. Consider marking on-street cycle lanes.

See comments for Site 406, as site is located further east towards B660. Access from Riseley Road. No specific footway or cycle connectivity but the rural location reasonably allows for cycling on most local roads. Bus stop east on B660 served by route 28A. Potential to improve the pedestrian access to the site, highway ownership needs investigating on the southern side of Riseley Road.
