Central Bedfordshire Design Guide SPD

Representation ID: 16231

Received: 16/03/2023

Respondent: Cllr Victoria Harvey

Representation Summary:

Chapter 12 and case studies should be at the start of the design guide and the golden thread of sustainablity and biodiversity and meeting carbon targets should run through the whole document. It is very confusing having this last and there is a huge amount of repetition in the document making it very long and inaccessible. Chapter 12 builds on some of the excellent work that officers in green infrastructure and sustainability are doing. There is not nearly enough on health benefits throughout and there is no metric for working out co benefits that could lead to accessing further funding
