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

Representation ID: 3552

Received: 11/08/2021

Respondent: Ms Claudia Dietz

Representation Summary:

Supportive of Option 2b with the emphasis on a compact urban area, utilising brownfields site in the town centre, existing employment areas and around rail station locations. The transport corridor south of Bedford with the A421 and the close connection to Junction 13 as well as the M1 should be focused on.
The opportunity to create one new, highly sustainable settlement in proximity to the A1, A421 and A428 as well as a new East-West-Rail station is supported. Therefore, Wyboston appears to be the more suitable location.
