The Site is also approximately 3.8 km north-east of Leagrave Rail Station and 5.5km from Luton Rail Station. The western border of the Site, extends along Barton Road (A6) from Great Bramingham Lane northwards to the access to New Farm, Streatley (a distance of approximately 630 metres). The southern perimeter of the Site is formed by the built up area comprising primarily of residential housing in Turnpike Drive. The north and east borders are made up largely of open space and farm land. A number of key facilities are available within a distance of 2km from the Site such as retail, community and public facilities as well as leisure destinations. A Framework Plan for the Land North of Luton (situated immediately to the west of the Site, otherwise known as the North Luton Strategic Allocation – NLSA) was adopted in March 2015 and set out a vision and strategy for a sustainable new development in an area stretching from the M1 to the A6 Barton Road. It was envisaged that the Land North of Luton would provide a mix of market and affordable housing, commercial development, new schools, accessible open space, and sports and leisure facilities. Pedestrian & Cyclist Accessibility In terms of pedestrian and cyclist accessibility, the Site is well connected to the existing footway/cycleway network: There is a footway/cycleway on the western side of Barton Road in the vicinity of the Site. There is also a footway/cycleway on the eastern side of Barton Road, which commences at the southwest corner of the Site then runs south along Barton Road (the cycle route leads to the town centre). The footway/cycleway on Barton Road offers a traffic-free route. This is part of the National Cycle Network and connects to the National Cycle Route 6 located to the south of the Site, linking Luton with destinations such as Market Harborough, Northampton and Milton Keynes. Land East of Barton Road 1 Transport Appraisal Report May 2017 The Land North of Luton site, when built, will provide significant opportunities for residents of the Site to access local amenities such as primary schools and a local centre. This would be encourage through the provision of safe crossing opportunities on Barton Road between the two sites. The Land north of Luton site would include a number of amenities. Whilst a planning application showing a definitive layout is not available, a concept plan has been produced. On the concept plan, a potential location for a primary school is shown approximately 500m from the Site, whilst the local centre is shown approximately 2.0km from the Site. Bus Accessibility The Site benefits from being in the vicinity of existing bus services: There are 3 bus stops near the Site. The closest bus stop is located on the western side of Barton Road approximately 500m walking distance from the centre of the Site. The other two bus stops are located on Quantock Rise. The Land North of Luton site is likely to be served by bus services. The concept plan shows a potential bus route through the allocated site and a bus stop close to Barton Road. The Framework Plan highlights the opportunities for linking the allocated site to bus routes and encouraging a link to the Luton Dunstable Guided Busway. There would be opportunities for residents of the Site to utilise these connections. Rail Accessibility Regular rail services are available from local stations: Leagrave station, which is located 3.8km south west of the Site, is the closest rail station to the Site. Leagrave station can be reached by using the 24H bus service on Quantock Rise. Luton Railway Station is 5.7km from the site. The 24H, 25, 79 and 81 bus routes all serve Luton Station. Vehicular Accessibility WYG previously explored access options for the Barton Road Site. It was decided that the most appropriate means of access was via a standard roundabout on Barton Road Land East of Barton Road 2 Transport Appraisal Report May 2017 and that a priority junction would not have the capacity to support access to the development. It is still considered that a roundabout would be the best option for access to the development. Speeds on Barton Road are likely to be high as it is a straight road and the speed limit is derestricted. In terms of highway safety, it would be preferable if the speed limit on Barton Road was changed to 40mph to the north of the proposed site access. Land East of Barton Road 3 Transport Appraisal Report May 2017 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Vectos has been appointed by The Crown Estate to provide transport advice on a potential new residential development in Central Bedfordshire on land east of Barton Road (A6), referred to in this technical note as the “Site”. 1.2 The Site is being promoted for residential development through the emerging Central Bedfordshire Local Plan. The previous iteration of the Plan, which was withdrawn prior to adoption, proposed a large scale residential development to the north of Luton, including the land to the west of Barton Road (referred to as the Land North of Luton and Sundon Rail Freight Interchange and also as the North Luton Strategic Allocation - NLSA), opposite the site. This “allocation” for c.4,000 new homes would have included a wide array of community services and facilities. 1.3 The purpose of this technical note is to provide an appraisal of potential access and sustainable transport facilities for the Site. A site location plan is included at Figure 1. 1.4 The report will include the following sections: Section 2: Baseline Context – A review of transport conditions at the Site and surrounding area, existing pedestrian and cycle routes, public transport provision and the highway network. Section 3: Access Strategy – A review of potential access options at the site. Section 4: Summary & Conclusions – A review of the key points described in this report 1.5 A previous study by WYG has been included at Appendix A for reference. Land East of Barton Road 4 Transport Appraisal Report May 2017 2 BASELINE CONTEXT Site Location 2.1 The Site is located on the northern edge of Luton, approximately 5.2km from Luton Town Centre. A site location plan is included at Figure 1. The Site is also approximately 3.8 km north-east of Leagrave Rail Station and 5.5km from Luton Rail Station. 2.2 The western border of the Site, extends along Barton Road (A6) from Great Bramingham Lane northwards to the access to New Farm, Streatley (a distance of approximately 630 metres). 2.3 The A6 is a single carriageway road and is a key radial route into Luton from Bedford. 2.4 The southern perimeter of the site is formed by the built up area comprising primarily of residential housing in Turnpike Drive. The north and east borders are made up largely of open space and farm land. Land

Map showing the 'Western line' and blast locations. The 11 July 2006 Mumbai train bombings were a series of seven bomb blasts that took place over a period of 11 minutes on the Suburban Railway in Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay), capital city of the Indian state of Maharashtra and India's financial capital. 209 people lost their lives and over 700 were injured in the attacks.

  • Bedfordshire Walking Festival
    OPEN DAILY APRIL TO AUGUST 2019 Welcome... to the 10th Annual Bedfordshire Walking Festival Few would have thought the Bedfordshire walking festival would still be taking place ten years on and in a county most people seem to ignore. True it may not be the Cotswolds nor the South Downs but Bedfordshire is a compact county with three distinctive types of walking. The Chalk Hills in the south, the picturesque, wooded undulating area in the middle referred to as the Greensand Country, and a mixture of woodland and the open space in the undulating "Wolds" of the north. Located in England's driest region, this attractive county is a great place to explore on foot and so easy to get to by road, rail, air and water as many have already found. Combine with a great range of walks. led by knowledgeable and friendly leaders, and it becomes easy to see how the festival has grown and grown. To mark the 10th anniversary, and in addition to walks across the county, we have set up Hub's at Woburn, Bedford's Priory Park and Ampthill Park on three of the nine days from where walks will start and from where walking relative information can be obtained. Enjoy a stroll through history at Woburn Abbey The walks and events in the programme are colour coded enabling you to easily select the type of walks • which appeal and the centre page map will enable you to find their location. Explore the award-winning, historic gardens Most of the walks and events are free and do not require a booking however some need to be booked • because there is either a restriction on numbers or because transport has to be organised.

  • Bute Street to Luton Station) Footpath Diversion Order 2008
    APPENDIX A THE LUTON (BUTE STREET TO LUTON STATION) FOOTPATH DIVERSION ORDER 2008 STATEMENT OF GROUNDS FOR CONFIRMING THE ORDER 1. The purpose of the Order is to divert a section of the footpath which runs between Bute Street and Midland Road in Luton. The path is part of an important pedestrian link between the High Town area of Luton to the north; Luton Station, and via Bute Street; the town centre further south. The Order proposals relate to the Footbridge between Bute Street and Luton Station. There is some lateral diversion proposed by the Order, but its main effect is to divert the path from a footbridge to ground level. The purpose of this Order is to provide improved access and inclusive environment for the mobility impaired, and people with mobility vehicles, the vulnerable young and old in accordance with the Disability Discrimination Acts (DDA) 2005 and policy for the mobility impaired. The footbridge also does not provide convenient access to cyclists, people with pushchairs or heavy luggage. 2. The environment of the Order footbridge and stairs to Bute Street are in substantial need of significant improvement. An improved footbridge and stairs however, would be less desirable than an at-grade footpath, in particular for users of the buses, ground level car park and cycle and motor bike stands on Station Road and in the future the proposed transportation improvements to the Luton Station Area. An upgrading the footbridge would not provide value for public money. 3. The whole path from Bute Street to Midland Road (shown in Appendix A) is accommodated on a railway footbridge which 10/5 provides both the public right of way and station access, and which has three elements: (a) At the southern end stairs ascend from the highway footway in Bute Street to a footbridge span of approximately 110 metres which extends north to join the upper level of Luton Station.
