Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission

Representation ID: 10371

Received: 29/07/2022

Respondent: Liberal Democrat Party Bedford Borough Council

Representation Summary:

• We are pleased that the delivery of affordable housing has been prioritised within the Plan, going further than the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) to support the provision of meaningfully affordable housing, including a significant proportion of social housing to improve affordability. At present many of the so-called affordable homes are “clearly unaffordable to those on mid to lower incomes.”
