Representation Summary:

General Development Proposals
We support the future development of the borough on existing brownfield sites tot eh South of the town. Sites of the former brickworks, ministry of Defence establishments, Wixams etc.
We do not support further large-scale development to the North of the town, which is already over developed and has almost conjoined existing villages in the town.
We believe that Wentworth Drive, which was intended as a barrier of development of that part of the town into the country, should be sustained.
We do not support development within the arc of the proposed East/West rail link to the North of the town as we believe that this would eventually result in over-development of the rural area of North Bedfordshire and the loss of agricultural land and the beautiful part of North Bedfordshire. Not to mention valuable wildlife habitats. Any proposed development has to be on existing brownfield or already ruined sites.
We do not support the proposed East/West rail link as we believe it will desecrate valuable rural areas and the need for this has not been justified.
