Central Bedfordshire Design Guide SPD

Representation ID: 16228

Received: 16/03/2023

Respondent: Cllr Victoria Harvey

Representation Summary:

12.2.3 This needs to be much stronger. There are serious issues with water supply and overabstraction in this area. It should be much stronger in Zero carbon.
There needs to be a much stronger section on onshore wind generation so that there can be a direct wire from a wind turbine/s to an estate. There are significant constraints in grid capacity. Offsite generation is really important and should fit in with the landscape. Heat pumps working as system joined together to provide heat for a while estate as is being trialed in Chamberlains barn in Leighton Buzzard are very effective.
