1.6 -1.13 :
As stated above the extent to which, if at all, the Arc will affect Bedford’s housing requirements and in particular the number and their location, is wholly unknown and will remain so until after the Local Plan is finalised. If, as is highlighted in para. 1.8, it is the Government’s intention to “… develop a long-term Spatial Framework …that will support better spatial planning…better targeted public investment….and allow communities to shape the long-term future of places..” the insistence on Bedford going ahead as required before the release of the Spatial Framework is plainly absurd.
