Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation
Representation ID: 3765

Respondent: Mr Graham Mills
The proposal to locate the housing and employment growth alongside the main travel corridors to the south and east of Bedford is absolutely the right strategy - options 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d. Transport investment in the recent past and planned future investment in roads and rail make this the only viable option to take. Any of the other options, especially major growth to the north of Bedford, are completely unsustainable because of the already overloaded transport network serving Borough residents and passing traffic from the north towards and away from Bedford.
