Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 3473

Received: 25/07/2021

Respondent: Mr Peter Gell

Representation Summary:

I support option 2c. There has been much more development to the west of Bedford, i.e. Kempston and Wootton in particular. 2c provides a better balance, and the duelling of the A428 around Great Denham wouldn't be needed. Creating new communities reflects the change that people want following Covid.

This option provides more employment than option 2a, and consequently is also preferential from that perspective. My second choice option is 2d, not as balanced as above, though has the best employment, and better balance of dwelling placement than the remaining two options.
