Central Bedfordshire Design Guide SPD

Representation ID: 16202

Received: 16/03/2023

Respondent: Cllr Victoria Harvey

Representation Summary:

8.2 The line on opportunities for exercise should be much stronger. The green infrastructure should actively encourage exercise by creating really attractive routes and places to be. Little hillocks and tree trunks and windy paths etc will really increase the activity of children. If a wider variety of flowering shrubs are planted , with links to schools there is a huge opportunity for the journey to school to be a nature discovery route which in turn will promote exercise. Flowering bushes and wild flowers linking into wider networks will encourage walking and cycling to destinations as way of social activity.
