We would like this to acknowledge that while all areas of policy impact on climate breakdown, environmental considerations and targets must sit at the heart of and drive all areas of policy.

We would challenge the use of passive language in this policy, e.g. A iii "contributing to more walkable and cycle-able neighbourhoods" and instead request that instead there are specific requirements e.g. "a minimum of a doubling of walk-able and cycle-able" or similar language. Too much of what is written permits insufficient action to be taken.

We would ask that Bedford adopts this wording in a different format saying: Use delivery of an electrified EWR and 'clean' mass rapid transit systems as the catalyst for the transformation of our strategic public transport networks

As stated elsewhere it is important that the plan also has clear and achievable options in the event EWR does not now proceed.

We would reiterate previous comments we have made about the need for a review of town centre cycling as the current ban is, in our opinion, in direct opposition to these plans.

We would ask for the following adjustment to wording: "The assessment will relate to the impact on Bedford town centre, Kempston district centre, local centres and the environment within the catchment and demonstrate that development will not have a significant adverse impact on town centre vitality and viability or existing, committed and planned investment in the centres.
We appropriate that environmental guidance may well be contained elsewhere in the process, but it is important that the environmental considerations remain explicit stated at all levels of policy.
