Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission

Representation ID: 9186

Received: 25/07/2022

Respondent: Mr Tom Tagg

Representation Summary:

Although not relevant to the current LP2040 plan, my previous objections remain unaltered:
The Issues/Options was not compliant as it described my Parish (Staploe) as brownfield, under-utilised urban land, when it is high class agricultural land and open countryside.
The Draft Plan was not compliant as it referred to the Dennybrook development being for 2,500 homes not the 11,500 homes actually planned.
The transport modelling for a new settlement at Wyboston (Dennybrook) was flawed (also all transport modelling by Aecom).
The Draft Plan considered sites (e.g. Eaton Bank) submitted late, preventing comment by the public.
