Housing

Central Bedfordshire seeks to ensure the creation of new, sustainable communities with attractive, affordable homes and high-quality local services. Because Central Bedfordshire is at the heart of a thriving, knowledge-based economy, more people are choosing to live and work here than ever before. To meet growing demand, up to 32,000 new homes are planned over the next two decades.

Details of 4 planned larger developments can be found in the individual tiles below. Details of small and medium sized developments, broken down by town/village can be found here.
