Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission

Representation ID: 9390

Received: 29/07/2022

Respondent: Luton & Bedfordshire Green Party

Bedford Council has a record of consistently at least delivering the housing requirement set out in development plans. 27,100 new homes are to be delivered over the Plan period which is excessive and unsustainable in all respects.
