Duty to co-operate? Not specified

CPRE Bedfordshire consider that the Local Plan is not sound (not ‘Justified’ or Effective’) in its approach to the long term management of open green spaces on new developments

Open Space Standards – Ownership of open green space on new developments

In the 2021 consultation CPRE Bedfordshire proposed that all open green space within new housing development should be handed over to Town & Parish Council's for long term maintenance and not held onto by developers who charge residents much higher maintenance costs. There have been many complaints from Parish Council's and residents regarding this practice.

We can find no reference in the Submission Draft to any steps taken to remedy this problematic area.
