Bedford Borough Local Plan 2040 Plan for Submission

Representation ID: 9469

Received: 29/07/2022

Respondent: Mr Stephen Rutherford

Representation Summary:

There are FAR too many shop premises for the business available.
A realistic plan would produce a smaller, better quality shopping area, by converting shopping and office buildings on the periphery into housing.
Suggest that right now, 50% of retail space needs to be converted to other use.
