Option 2a represents the optimal BBC solution to growth within the council area. It supports growth associated with the Bedford rail developments and maximises the use of brownfield sites for housing developments. I believe brownfield development is the best way to ensure the growth and vitality of the Bedford town centre. Growth associated with new train stations (South St Neots/Tempsford) are best served with plans from Cambridgeshire and Central Bedfordshire councils. The proposed Dennybrook development is essentially a suburb of St Neots, this will compromise the success of this new town when residents would rely on St Neots for services
