Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission

Representation ID: 9752

Received: 27/07/2022

Respondent: Rosemarie Langley

Representation Summary:

I live in High Street Elstow. I have lived in the village for 54 years.
I have been examining the plans for industrial and housing increases for the village. As you know the village has already been greatly enlarged in recent years, with the Wigram Close and the old school site and the Abbey Fields development.

Please take care of the following issues :
- Make sure there is a large percentage – 50% - of Social / Council housing in the new housing plans with solar panels built in.
- Also that the necessary school places will be built along with houses, with solar panels on the schools
- Keep a clear corridor for the Marston Vale Forest land as well as the Brook in the land through the village, for walkers and for wildlife,
- Make sure that the village roads are properly surfaced and adequate for heavy vehicles
- Keeping in mind that many people walk and cycle, and provide safe byways to enjoy the village with its obvious history of over 1000 years.
Thank you very much.
All best wishes for a happy and successful development.
