Representation ID: 7168

Respondent: C Jackson & Sons (Bedford) LTD

Agent: Phillips Planning Services

Representation Summary:

We support the creation of a minimum of 8,642 net additional jobs up to 2040. However, the policy does not support the expansion of existing employment sites, and for the plan to be considered as “positively prepared”, we would welcome a more positive policy framework which supports the principle of the expansion of existing employment sites wherever they are in the Borough. A more positive policy context would then encourage proper investment in exploring these opportunities.
