It identifies (as far as possible) the critical and other infrastructure necessary to support the delivery of the objectives, spatial development strategy and other policies set-out in the LLP. The IDP also provides an overarching framework for service providers’ plans and programmes, bringing them into one place. This should help all providers to plan for the predicted level and locations of future growth as set out in the LLP. Another function of this document is to support the development of a community infrastructure levy (CIL) or other mechanisms that secure funds for infrastructure delivery. It can help to identify priorities and support funding bids to bodies such as the local enterprise partnership. The infrastructure delivery plan (IDP) will be regularly updated and published to provide the latest position on infrastructure delivery. 4 2 Background Development of this document began in 2012, alongside the first consultation stage of the LLP. The council contacted key stakeholders to identify any known infrastructure requirements and planned works. A review of existing plan-making evidence and local strategies was also undertaken. This resulted in an extensive background document identifying key issues. Early in 2014, a comprehensive review of infrastructure requirements was undertaken, using the previous background document as a basis. The review included a search for stakeholder asset management plans and similar strategies. Updated plan-making evidence (available to inform a second consultation on the LLP) was also queried. The outcome of this stage was a short document focussing on schedules of infrastructure requirements. In the autumn of 2014, consultation on the scope and content of an infrastructure delivery plan was carried-out. Specific advice was sought from the Planning Advisory Service and Planning Officers Society to ensure that the schedules could be developed into a document that was fit for purpose. A draft IDP was produced in June 2015 and issued to stakeholders for further review, resulting in this publication. Chapter 6 (Infrastructure Requirements) confirms the source of infrastructure requirements presented in this document while appendix A details those parties that have been most useful in providing information. It should be noted that the level of detail on infrastructure requirements does vary across all parties. Some organisations produce detailed and comprehensive asset management plans or equivalent strategies, while others have only been able to indicate summary concerns. While it is accepted that one can only work with the information available, it is expected that detail on requirements will evolve and improve over time. Funding for infrastructure can come from a variety of different sources. One such source is the community infrastructure levy or similar planning obligations through the provisions of section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. Where funds are sought through this approach, the council must be careful that this does not result in a significant adverse effect to the profitability of development. Analysis on the ability of developers to fund infrastructure provision is provided in separate evidence documents that inform the development of the LLP. While the delivery of infrastructure will be supported by a multitude of other plans and strategies, it is worth making specific reference to the council’s Investment Framework 2015-2035. This was developed at the beginning of 2015 and is currently available in draft form. Its purpose is to attract over £1bn of inward investment from public and private sectors to ensure that key strategies (including the LLP) are taken forward in a coordinated manner and that economic growth in Luton is sustainable. Strongly influenced by the objectives of the draft Luton Local Plan 2011-2031 (published 2014), it commits the council to focussed prioritisation of land and other resources. This will ensure that council policies will work well together to improve health and realise local and regional ambitions. 5 The Investment Framework also introduces new funds for social and commercial investment and identifies opportunities to maximise the benefits derived

Introduction 1.1 The Urban Capacity Report sets out the different strands of policy and practice that, as a combined approach, demonstrate the Council are seeking every opportunity across Central Bedfordshire to maximise the use of available land within settlements, before looking to greenfield sites within the countryside in order to accommodate future growth requirements. This will ensure the Local Plan meets the requirements of the NPPF and the emerging direction of future policy as set out in the Housing White Paper. 2. Key Findings 2.1 The Urban Capacity Report discusses the following strands of policy and practice: Luton, Dunstable and Houghton Regis Urban Capacity Potential Study (2016) 2.2 Luton, Dunstable and Houghton Regis have a significant role to play in contributing towards growth within the Luton Housing Market Area (HMA). The Council commissioned Nexus Planning to prepare an Urban Capacity Study to identify the potential for achieving additional capacity from developments within the Luton, Dunstable and Houghton Regis conurbation. The Study conducted a two stage assessment: Stage One – A baseline assessment confirming the sites identified in the SHLAAs and ELRs for Central Bedfordshire and Luton Borough were still suitable for residential development. No new sites were considered. Stage Two – Testing the sites against alternative densities to see whether they could be increased to deliver additional homes. 2.3 The study concluded there may be an opportunity to increase development capacity by 148-496 dwellings within Central Bedfordshire, achieved through increasing density.

  • Luton Motor Town
    Contents Luton: Motor Town Luton: Motor Town 1910 - 2000 The resources in this pack focus on the major changes in the town during the 20th century. For the majority of the period Luton was a prosperous, optimistic town that encouraged forward-looking local planning and policy. The Straw Hat Boom Town, seeing problems ahead in its dependence on a single industry, worked hard to attract and develop new industries. In doing so it fuelled a growth that changed the town forever. However Luton became almost as dependant on the motor industry as it had been on the hat industry. The aim of this pack is to provide a core of resources that will help pupils studying local history at KS2 and 3 form a picture of Luton at this time. The primary evidence included in this pack may photocopied for educational use. If you wish to reproduce any part of this park for any other purpose then you should first contact Luton Museum Service for permission. Please remember these sheets are for educational use only. Normal copyright protection applies. Contents 1: Teachers’ Notes Suggestions for using these resources Bibliography 2: The Town and its buildings 20th Century Descriptions A collection of references to the town from a variety of sources.

    “In many ways it can be described as a lifeline as it can help you keep your sanity when you are at home with a baby. There is always someone available to talk to you: I had a time when I was feeling down, there were a lot of things going on in my life –and I had missed a couple of aqua-natal sessions. Then one day the Midwife rang up and said, ‘I’ve got half an hour free why don’t I come round for a coffee and a chat?’ “That really made me feel that I wasn’t just a number and that there was someone out there that actually cares – that is what is so special about the people who work at Marsh Farm, they care.” Sue works part-time and lives in Luton with her husband Bill and their two year old daughter Hannah.

Introduction 1.1 Background Luton Borough Council is producing a “Local Plan Review” in 2014 which will replace the previous Local Plan (2001-2011). It is estimated that the town will require new dwellings (and associated infrastructure and employment land) for approximately 50,000 new residents in the period to 2031 (figures provided by Luton Borough Council Local Plans Team). There is a need to plan for this growth, and to ensure that it does not have an adverse effect on Luton’s environment, including its landscape. Luton is situated in the gap carved through the chalk hills by the River Lea, and the influence of the chalk geology is significant, providing the setting for the town. The Luton Local Plan (2011-2031) is intended to provide the blueprint for growth in a sustainable context.
