Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission

Representation ID: 9715

Received: 26/07/2022

Respondent: Historic England

Representation Summary:

We have considerable concerns about the suitability of parts of this site for development.
Further assessment of this area is required prior to EiP to better understand the significance of this landscape.
We will also be asking Historic England’s designation team to investigate whether parts of the site should be scheduled and whether the Manor House and
associated buildings should be listed.
If, following further assessment, the site is found to be broadly suitable, the policy should be amended to incorporate reference to specific heritage assets. The
various heritage mitigation and enhancement recommendations for the site (identified in the HIA and further assessment) should also be included in the
policy wording. (see table for details). The diagram should also be amended to incorporate these recommendations.
Without this further evidence these allocations are not justified and so are not sound.
