A planning application has been resubmitted for a new footbridge in Biddenham, linking residential areas on the southern side of the Western Bypass to the Country Park on the northern side. Originally approved in 2019, the previous permission expired due to lengthy discussions regarding technical details. The new application, which does not propose any changes to the bridge design, is part of a broader mixed development that includes residential, retail, and leisure facilities.
The public consultation period ends on January 17, 2023. More details can be found on Bedford Borough Council’s planning portal under reference 22/02716/FUL.
