1.3 The Strategy Options document that is being consulted on was prepared ahead of the publication of the revised National Planning Policy Framework 2021 (NPPF). A requirement was introduced within Paragraph 22 of the revised NPPF for Local Plans proposing new settlements or urban extensions to towns/villages to be set within a vision which looks at least 30 years ahead. Paragraph 22 will apply to the Bedford Borough Local Plan based on the transitional arrangements that have been put in place and as a result, the Council will need to undertake additional work to establish a longer-term vision for the Local Plan 2040.
