I have received a letter through my door – I am resident of Cople, Bedfordshire regarding the 2040 local plan.
I notice in the letter it states that “All residents have received a summary of the consultation document….” I have never received this.
I would like to object to the large amount of houses proposed under options 2d 3c and 4 of over developing the lovely Bedfordshire villages, Cople, Cardington, Willington and Great Barford among others.
Where has option 1 gone to develop the Urban areas? You will be ruining the nature of these villages, which do not have the infrastructure for roads and services to cope with more houses. We need to be preserving our countryside villages, not merging them all into one.
You will be ruining what is the nature of Bedfordshire as a rural environment – why are you so set on Rural Growth? Have you really asked everyone and given them chance to properly understand what you are proposing? This is not what people who have chosen to live in Villages want to see.
Why has option 1 been rejected?
