Respondent: Bedford Architectural, Archaeological & Local History Society
We are supportive of the current proposals, as long as implementation reflects the following principles\;
- 'Brownfield sites are considered first, before new housing is proposed for greenfield sites and new settlements
- Environmental and build standards are high and enforced
-Existing villages are not over-whelmed by disproportionate expansion
-Accessible green facilities, e.g. parkland and public open space, are not destroyed
-Proper advance planning and funding is made for the impact on public services
-Bedford's historic townscape is respected and protected
