Respondent: Mr Darren Edwards
Agent: Fuller Long Planning Consultants
Representation Summary:
We do not consider the proposed settlement is consistence with the guidance given in the NPPF for the following reasons:
The site is greenfield
The land has a Grade 2 Agricultural Classification (higher than other sites)
Harm to the character of the countryside
Loss of identity of Honeydon and Begwary.
Insufficient open space between the settlement and St Neots.
Little or no benefit to sustaining Bedford Town Centre.
Flood Risk
Ecology
Notwithstanding these serious concerns should the site be included within the emerging local plan the land at 8 Chapel Close should also be allocated for development.
