Planning Policy
The Planning Policy team researches, prepares, monitors and
reviews land use policies and guidance. It is responsible for
preparing the Bedford Development Framework and other policy
documents, including Development Briefs and guidance notes. Input
is made to regional and national planning issues. A key component
in the planning framework for the Borough is looking ahead to the
demands placed on the area and balancing these with the needs of
the local community and the protection and enhancement of its
environment. By monitoring current and future changes throughout
the Borough and by proposing clear and precise planning policies
the Council endeavours to direct future development into the most
appropriate locations. The Head of Planning Policy is Ronald
McKay.
