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

Representation ID: 4604

Received: 01/09/2021

Respondent: Mrs Gerardine Meola

Representation Summary:

Only 279 respondents to the Issues and Options consultation out of population of 150,000 + residents is a fail.

The urban area of St Neots is not within Bedford Borough so it will not plan services for proposed new developments, it will not plan for 2500 houses 2040 and definitely not 10,000+ houses 2050 on land west of Wyboston, at that point it will engulf St Neots.

If development near EWR needs to take place, it should be at Little Barford 2500 houses only.

Two large developments on the outskirts of St Neots will be detrimental to St Neots.
