Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission

Representation ID: 9079

Received: 01/07/2022

Respondent: John Hargreaves

Representation Summary:

The Bedford Blues Rugby Ground has been identified in previous Local Plans as having potential for residential development. The sustainability credentials of the site were also recognised in the Sustainability Appraisal produced for the Adopted Local Plan. It is therefore entirely appropriate that the site should continue to be considered as a future housing site, and for the reasons set out in the Supporting Statement produced in relation to the Call for Sites in August 2020 (attached), the Site should be the subject of a specific policy as are other Housing Allocations.
