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

Representation ID: 5248

Received: 03/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Christopher Thompson

Representation Summary:

Options 2b, 2c & 2d:
New developments close to the Bedford / Cambrideshire border need to be carefully considered as these would cause a drain on facilities in St Neots, while all the council tax from these dwellings would go to BBC.
The new dwellings are also planned for building entirely on green field sites.


Option 2a:
Development is more focussed on brown field. Developing next to existing urban areas also makes sense in terms of existing services etc.
I would be supportive of this option 2a.
However, some additional development around the East-West train station makes sense.
