Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission

Representation ID: 9243

Received: 26/07/2022

Respondent: Ms Claudia Dietz

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The draft Local Plan 2040 is unsound, failing to comply with bullet points a) to e) of NPPF para 16, paras 8, 9, 10 and 11.
Furthermore, the proposed allocation is not considered a sustainable form of development and is not supported.

Misleading naming of this policy. Neither Water End nor St Neots Road, although part of Renhold Parish, have any designated Settlement Policy Areas as they are so rural. This poor naming therefore made it very unclear as to where the proposed site allocation is actually located.
