Issues and Options Consultation and Call for Sites

Local Plans set out where growth and development will take place – everything from homes and jobs to schools and infrastructure. Bedford Borough Council already has a Local Plan in place up to 2030. With changes to national planning policy and proposals around the Oxford to Cambridge Arc – which Bedford Borough is at the heart of – we now need to look further ahead, so we are carrying out a Local Plan Review and want to hear your thoughts by 4th September 5pm.

The new local plan will identify land for development by allocating sites. If you know of a site that may have development potential, or if you are a landowner, business or developer and have a site you would like to bring to our attention, please complete a site submission form by 14th August 5pm. All sites proposed will be considered for inclusion in the plan.
