Central Bedfordshire Design Guide SPD

Representation ID: 16092

Received: 14/02/2023

Respondent: Mr Darren Brooker

Representation Summary:

(1) The document overly prescribes for urban and suburban areas without sufficient allowance or provision for rural and small village locations. This is likely to lead to inappropriate standards and guidelines being applied in rural and small village locations, which could ultimately lead to the urbanisation of these areas.
(2) Greater provision needs to be included for taking account of other local (e.g. town and parish) design guidance, such as that included in neighbourhood plans, local design codes, etc.
