I support this policy, which proposes growth on brownfield sites, sites south of Bedford and at a new settlement in Little Barford. This is in keeping with the NPPF which states that brownfield sites, and sites with sustainable transport links are preferred and that grade 1 and 2
agricultural land should be avoided. Against a backdrop of threats to the global food supply and supplies of fertiliser, and with climate change threatening crop yields it would be an act of folly to develop our agricultural land.
