The public consultation on the borough’s preferred development strategy for the Local Plan 2035 will take place from 18 April to 2 June subject to the Executive Committee agreeing the draft consultation papers at their meeting on 22 February.  These papers have just been published.  Access them through

www.bedford.gov.uk/localplan2035 and clicking the link.

The papers contain recommendations on authorising tracts of land for the construction of even more housing in Biddenham which, if implemented, will affect all residents of the village.

The society has a number of queries on the document which are being progressed on our behalf with the borough by our local councillor Jon Gambold.  When these have been resolved further information will be entered on this blog.
