Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission

Representation ID: 9261

Received: 27/07/2022

Respondent: Mrs Alison Myers

Representation Summary:

The promotion of high quality jobs is supported - the design quality and especially a height restriction for buildings will be critical. This is a sensitive area in the setting of Howbury Hall which provides a high quality feature for Renhold and the Bedford gateway.
I am concerned about the increase in traffic generation which will impact on road safety of the village lanes in Renhold and Ravensden particularly - lanes already subject to rat running and are mostly without pavements.
Rural character is important to conserve.
