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

Representation ID: 5438

Received: 03/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Derek Armitage

Representation Summary:

Strongly object to Option 2d as the proposed transport corridor (east) is unsustainable and will place irreparable strain and harm upon the A603 corridor. Furthermore, there is no clear requirement for the additional 28ha of employment land delivered by Option 2d due to the increase in home working and the already significant proposed employment provision with Option 2a - 2c.
Focus should remain with urban growth and continued expansion around southern parishes of Stewartby, Wixams, Shortstown and Cotton End and on new settlements at Little Barford and Wyboston as they align with the E-W Rail strategy and railway station provision.
