Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission
Representation ID: 9543
Received: 13/07/2022
Respondent: Ravensden Parish Council
Representation Summary:
For reasons outlined above, the shaded notation for EWR corridor E should be removed from the Key Diagram.
The notation for a new station at Little Barford should be deleted as, if built at all, EWR could equally cross the ECML at Tempsford (in Central Bedfordshire) where the new station would be sited instead.
The Parish Council also notes that the housing allocation from the 2030 Local Plan at Graze Hill (Policy 24) is shown on the Key Diagram as a strategic housing commitment. Policy 24 is not a strategic policy in the adopted Local Plan 2030, so the notation on the Submission Plan Key Diagram should be amended, or removed entirely.
