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

Representation ID: 7963

Received: 24/09/2021

Respondent: Ms Lorraine Jewell

Representation Summary:

Employment growth should be centred around the transport corridors and where there are sustainable modes of public transport and other sustainable choices such as walking or cycling. On this basis I believe that this should be provided adjacent to Bedford / Kempston urban area. The Post-pandemic reassessment of working patterns and employment growth areas needs to be factored in to this and the BBC strategy is outdated on this.

Rural Bedfordshire has employment within the farming/food production areas is important too!
