We broadly welcome the new tall buildings policy. It is helpful to have an overarching policy framework for tall buildings going forward, particularly given the growth pressures that Bedford is likely to experience in the future. We very much welcome the commitment to prepare and SPD to assist with the application of this policy. There are still a number of questions that will need to be explored and addressed through the SPD including as assessment of the current skyline, methodology for assessment of proposals (LVIA, photomontages, VuCity, wireframes etc.), identification of key views and finally assessment of, and designation of, areas considered inappropriate for tall buildings.
We look forward to reviewing the SPD.
