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

Representation ID: 4216

Received: 30/08/2021

Respondent: Mrs Gerardine Meola

Representation Summary:

Support option 2a.

Development in and around the urban area of Bedford, plus A421 transport corridor south.

No large new settlements in open countryside, brownfield sites first.

Arc spatial framework to be agreed, to ensure any new large scale development is in the right place and does not conflict with neighbouring authority developments.

Would like borough councillors to be given opportunity to vote, so decision is not made by Mayor only (Executive Powers).

Concerned only 279 respondents engaged with first Consultation (approximately 50% were not residents, but interested parties).

This consultation has been very challenging; a lot of complex information.
