Central Bedfordshire Design Guide SPD

Representation ID: 16190

Received: 16/03/2023

Respondent: Cllr Victoria Harvey

Representation Summary:

This part of the design guide should be much stronger on the character of CLophill and Maulden where the fields come into the villages making the Greensand Ridge far more part of the countryside rather than a chunk of development. and the views form the main streets blocked by housing all the way along instead of having gaps. Old buildings that are used for businesses need to be preserved to keep the live work rural atmosphere rather than changing the whole area into gentrified suburbia
