Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 7773

Respondent: Lance Feaver

Representation Summary:

Overall I support the aspiration to be a greener, more accessible and prosperous Borough, and in particular any decision to optimise brown-field sites for new housing rather than development on farming land. Bedford Town Centre is increasingly desolate and a major shift from retail use to residential could, if properly planned, help revitalise it, and would help promote Bedford’s position within the Oxford Cambridge arc.
