Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission

Representation ID: 10035

Received: 28/07/2022

Respondent: The Southill Estate

Agent: Carter Jonas LLP

Representation Summary:

Policy DM3(S) seeks to ensure that a mix of house types and sizes are delivered at developments to meet identified needs. The Southill Estate owns land at the Abbey Field West of Elstow site that is a draft allocation for residential development (Policy HOU 5). Criteria ii of Policy HOU 5 also requires that a mix of house types are sizes are provided from this allocation. The promoted development would provide a mix of house types and sizes. As set out in the Southill Estate’s representations to Policy DM1(S), there is potential for a proportion of the housing within this promoted development to be retained specifically for employees at the science and innovation park allocation at Pear Tree Farm. This approach would provide an additional type of housing not mentioned in Policy DM3(S). The housing mix for the promoted development at Abbey Fields West of Elstow would be determined at masterplan and planning application stage.
