Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation
Representation ID: 5421

Respondent: Mr Peter Norris
By reflecting back to the 2030 consultation and using different colours for some of the options to those in the present consultation, ambiguity is being introduced. That study included a new E-W Rail station to the north of Bedford - coloured orange and the associated comment indicated support for such a station with associated development (3.11). Such a station is not feasible due to topographic constraints and has not been brought forward to the current consultation This should have been clarified as you do now include an orange station option in the St Neots/Tempsford area - hence potential confusion.
