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

Representation ID: 5931

Received: 08/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Tom Tagg

Representation Summary:

I support the continued review of the 1,275 figure.
As my responses to 3.1 and 3.2 above, I ask that BBC do all they can to challenge the standard method and to use contingency wherever possible to reduce this number.
I would hope that with agreement of the Ox-Cam Arc Spatial Strategy, housing requirements will be spread evenly and fairly across the Arc, to avoid further overheating of hotspots such as Bedford, that has already contributed 3x the national average growth. In addition integrated planning with Central Beds and Hunts DC, may reduce this excessive figure.
