Representation Summary:

Please refer to the response received from the Shortstown Parish Council, I support their response. There has been considerable building in Shortstown in recent years, the impact of which has not yet been seen. The A road through Shortstown is already very busy and any incident/roadworks in the area bring access out of the village towards Bedford/A421 to a halt. The small village centre should not be classed as a key service centre, it is not. The additional housing already impinges on the hangers, any further building may stop their use in the future.
