Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission

Representation ID: 9481

Received: 29/07/2022

Respondent: Mr Graham Mills

Representation Summary:

The phasing of development in new settlements is a very positive aspect of this Local Plan. However, if the required new Bletchley-Bedford-Cambridge railway stations, or the new dual carriageway to Cambridge are not built then the housing targets and the new settlements must be postponed till transport capacity is provided. Otherwise the Plan is not sustainable.
