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

Representation ID: 4367

Received: 31/08/2021

Respondent: Mrs Gerardine Meola

Representation Summary:

Support Neighbourhood Plans - their findings should be highly weighted in decision making.

Staploe Parish Council's emerging Neighbourhood plan clearly shows residents value rural life. It also shows that residents have indicated that they do not have a housing need.

Sites put forward in Duloe (Staploe Parish) are not in keeping with character of hamlet. No small development sites should be permitted.

It is my understanding that Bedford Borough has classed Staploe Parish and Duloe as not being subject to development allocations.
