I suggest you read the new levelling up bill from May 2022 which changed the planning recommendations. Few examples is to build on brown field sites and leave green sites, communities are the ones to have more say and we are to be listened to! Make sure infrastructure is in place before new build projects which Kempston and Bedford does not have! Your 2040 plan is outdated and you have already built over recommended numbers as you state.
As a resident of Kempston for all my life I am fed up of you and the council building and approving plans that is taking all our green space away. I will fight along with many residents over the Gibraltor corner plans.
Please listen to Gove where he states green spaces are important to communities and their well being and you are taking them all away.
I am watching the new bill as it progresses through parliament and I suggest you actually take time to and listen to the residents instead of pushing these stupid plans ahead and some even being built on flood plains such as the Shortstown plans. Absolutely ridiculous!

Just be prepared as us the community have more say in new plans and we need to be listened to!
