My impression is that the Bedford planning rules are quite old and in Bedford terms this means that they were developed during a completely different era when the population was much smaller.
Unfortunately people have also been complaining about the slow waterfront development since I lived around that area 20 years ago.
Bedford has the opposite of a normal pattern of development in that the central parts that should act as a downtown are less developed than many of the outer areas where midrises are being built.
