Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission

Representation ID: 10160

Respondent: Sir or Madam

Representation Summary:

Your proposal for a campus-style development (primarily research and development with elements of manufacturing, warehousing and distribution) is preposterous.
Renhold is a rural village and the arable fields that you are suggesting for development are identified as important green gaps in open countryside.
The sites are not gateway locations into Bedford as they do not abut the urban boundary of Bedford. Instead, the northern site adjoins the settlement policy area of Renhold Green End (a small nucleus of residential units), and the southern site does not adjoin any settlement policy area.
You are living in cloud cuckoo land if you think that a Science Park with a MK postcode will be a success, so go back to the drawing board and think again and do not destroy what is left of our green and pleasant land.
