Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission

Representation ID: 9257

Received: 27/07/2022

Respondent: Mrs Alison Myers

Representation Summary:

I am very concerned about the loss of open spaces within Bedford - areas of brownfield land are required to provide nature spaces and amenity for the community. More houses exacerbate climate issues re run off and urban heating.

The spatial strategy has been greatly influenced by EW Rail - growth areas such as Little Barford and to the south of Bedford must ensure potential rail corridors are not constrained .

Little Barford growth is in a sensitive landscape setting and does not relate well to Bedford.
