The Vision within the submission version Bedford Local Plan 2040 fails to recognise or provide for needs for community facilities necessary to deliver the objectives for the spatial strategy or to provide for sustainable development specifically in relation to the settlement at Oakley and secondary education provision at Lincroft Academy.
The Council’s assessment of our client’s interests at Lincroft Academy Site ID: 832 / 839 is inadequate and takes no account of the submitted details in terms of the ability to secure the required improvement of facilities and a range of additional benefits to the local community. Furthermore the site option has not been assessed in the same detail as other reasonable alternatives to enable identification of the positive effects associated with the improvement of social infrastructure and education provision at this location
