Landscape Character This character area comprises a level, open area of arable farmland located between the edge of Houghton Regis and the M1. The landscape pattern comprises medium and large-scale irregular fields divided by low trimmed, intermittent hedgerows with some post and wire fencing. Drainage channels follow field boundaries. The area is dissected by three lines of pylons, which run southwards from Sundon Substation into the urban area. Large-scale farm buildings associated with Chalton Cross are also prominent and detracting features. Although this is a large scale and open landscape, this character area is contained to the east, west and south by built development, which 10B provides a degree of enclosure.

  • Sundon Quarry and Rail Freight Interchange SSSA
    Sundon Rail Freight Interchange SSSA Introduction 10.18a Sundon Rail Freight Interchange (RFI) SSSA is located on land adjacent to Sundon Quarry and lies to the north of the built edge of the urban area of Luton bounded to the west by the Midland Mainline railway and the M1 motorway. North of Luton SSSA adjoins the site in the south east. The village of Upper Sundon is located to the north east and the Chilterns AONB lies beyond Upper Sundon village. 10.18b For the purposes of the Core Strategy and allocation purposes, the site referred to as the Sundon RFI SSSA refers to the arable land adjoining the rail line to the east, adjacent to the former Sundon Quarry, as shown on the Proposals Map Amendments. The adjacent County Wildlife Site and Site of Specific Scientific Interest, formerly used for quarrying, are not included in the SSSA designation. The RFI site is to be located on the arable land which is level with the railway line but rises towards the south of the site to the level of the houses in the hamlet to the south of the site. 10.18c Current access to the site is obtained through Upper Sundon village; however the development will necessitate improved and direct access to the site from the M1 motorway, in particular from the proposed Junction 11a. A new and improved road network to this junction will be constructed prior to the occupation of the RFI development. 10.18d Adjoining the site to the east is a disused quarry comprising Sundon Chalk Pits County Wildlife Site (CWS) and within the CWS is Sundon Chalk Quarry Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
