Central Bedfordshire Design Guide SPD

Representation ID: 16120

Received: 01/03/2023

Respondent: Chris Stevenson

Representation Summary:

4.2 "Local Policy". Noted that "convenient routes ... well connected to surrounding area.. encouraging travel by sustainable modes". Too many recent developments have totally ignored "permeability". Walking and cycling routes may be fine within a new development but there is often no way to get out of that development by walking or cycling. This needs to be forced upon developers.
