Plan-Wide Viability Study: Bedford Local Plan 2040 - AWARD

Bedford Borough Council is commissioning a 'whole plan' viability assessment to support the examination of its emerging Local Plan 2040.

The Local Plan 2040 is in the early stages of preparation and it will be submitted for examination at the beginning of 2023. This is a fixed deadline (see Policy 1 of the adopted Local Plan 2030). As a result, the plan will only include new policies where they are essential for rolling on the plan period, or are needed because existing ones are becoming out of date.
