Para 6.8 – SUPPORT

CPRE Bedfordshire has expressed huge concern about the over-development of land hungry
warehousing in Bedford, which has contributed very little to local job opportunities and blighted many residential areas, particularly when located in close proximity to locations where new large scale new housing has been developed. We welcome the recognition in this draft plan that new allocations for large-scale warehousing are not appropriate and that the employment strategy should focus on enabling higher skilled job opportunities in the Borough.
