Representation ID: 5401

Received: 03/09/2021

Respondent: Mrs Gwendalyn Selo Skingley

Representation Summary:

I object to Southern Bedford development for reasons outlined previously. We are losing the semi-rural status of these communities. There is too much light pollution already (Whistl warehouse for example is hugely light polluting).
Lack of infrastructre, schools, green spaces and homes of adequate size. New homes are very small with small outdoor spaces, and local facilities are small and poor.
Damage to heritage of local area.
Urban growth should be prioritised where there is a higher chance of established transport routes which do not rely on cars.
Investment in surgeries and schools needed and quickly not over years
