Policy HOU12 South of Bedford area
5.31 We have significant reservations on how land has been allocated in the south of Bedford area where priority has been given to new settlements and extensions to less sustainable settlements, with such extensions likely to more than double the size of the existing communities. This has been chosen over extensions to more sustainable settlements for example Wootton. It is clear that HOU13 and HOU14 will rely on Wootton for services and facilities but journeys are likely to be by car. Extensions to Wootton would promote shorter journeys by alternative means such as by foot and cycle.
