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

Representation ID: 3813

Received: 26/08/2021

Respondent: Roxton Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Theme 4 Mentions high quality health and social care. It is imperative to improve these services as currently they are inadequate for the Bedfordshire villages. We know for example in the Roxton area that our local surgeries are already overcrowded even before the 90 houses in Great Barford and forthcoming 50 in Roxton.

Any housing quantity plan must consider the impact on local infrastructure and facilities. RPC would like to see more publicised supporting evidence and consultation of local people and Parish Councils when developers state that existing facilities and infrastructure have available capacity to cope with growth. Such statements do not always match the evidence available in the local communities on a day to day basis.
