There should be significant buffering between new housing developments and existing settlements. Provision should be made for existing villagers who do not want to be surrounded by urbanisation for financial compensation in the event the site be chosen (loss in value to homes, noise and traffic of construction workers, loss of rural living etc ), Buy out clauses at 140% of market value for all homes and option for land to be bought from the residents to form part of the buffer or even add to the buffer size at building land value.

I believe it is important that sufficient car parking spaces are provided in new developments (many homes have three cars). However, I also believe it is important to provide sustainable forms of transport for new developments and I believe option 2b with a new settlement at Little Barford would be able to provide this.
There should be significant buffering eg. trees, embankments, and green space between new housing developments and existing settlements.
There should be a range of housing types such as bungalows, affordable homes etc. However, I believe homes should be no more than two storeys in rural areas.

Staploe Parish Council believe it is very important that sufficient car parking spaces are provided in any new developments (many homes have three cars. Providing less parking space does not prevent people using cars it just prevents emergency services vehicles from accessing homes due to cars parked inappropriately. However, we also believe it is important to provide sustainable forms of transport for new developments and we believe option 2b with a smaller new settlement at Little Barford would be able to provide this.

There should be maximum buffering of open green space or substantial hedging/trees between new settlements and existing villages, to ensure existing/historical villages and their character are not engulfed and lost.

Any new settlement adjacent to a village should ensure development immediately next to existing village be housing only of no more than two floors and not commercial or leisure buildings. To ensure character of existing village is not lost.

New highways should be created for new settlements and existing village roads should be retained - existing village should not become a main road or rat run for new settlements.

SPC supports the Council’s plan to prepare a design guide which addresses the ten characteristic of a well-designed place. SPC would like to see emphasis placed on carbon reduction in the home through use of the highest quality of home thermal insulation, home energy efficiency measures, low water usage, electrification of heating and cooking and where possible renewable energy supply such as ground and air source heat pumps.
SPC would be supportive of a local Design Code that would look to emphasise and enhance the local distinctiveness of the Borough, this should also been seen as an opportunity to set standards that are above and beyond the government minimum build requirements and for Bedford Borough to set its self as a beacon authority for exceptional planning design.
