EXECUTIVE SUMMARY i This submission provides Gladman Development’s written representations on the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan 2015-2035, Draft Plan – July 2017. ii Gladman specialises in the promotion of strategic land for residential development, with associated community infrastructure, and has previously been involved in the preparation of the Local Plan and is actively promoting a number of sites for residential development within the District. iii These representations concern the following matters: National Planning Policy / Housing White Paper Duty to Cooperate Sustainability Appraisal Site Selection Housing Needs Settlement Hierarchy Draft Local Plan Policies Site Submissions iv At Section 5, Gladman raise specific concerns in relation to the site assessment process that has been undertaken to date. Whilst no sites have been identified for housing allocations at this stage, in preparing the pre-submission version of the Plan, it is essential that the sustainability appraisal considers all reasonable alternatives to the same level of details as the site options that are ultimately selected for allocation. v These submissions set out that the Local Plan that is published under Regulation 19 will need to provide a clear and justified position in terms of the minimum housing requirement that is being planned for. This must be based on a carefully considered evidence base and provide sufficient flexibility to ensure that the spatial strategy can deliver against this requirement. The Council will need to be mindful of the current national policy requirement in terms of calculating OAN, but also give careful consideration to the Government’s proposed move towards a standardised methodology which is expected to be published for consultation in September 2017. vi Gladman supports the concept of new settlements and town extensions which represent a potentially sustainable means of providing new homes, jobs and associated community infrastructure. It is, however, essential that the deliverability, scale, complexity

    aberdeen3-34973_1 Summary In August 2007, Mr Harry McNab of Bancon Developments Ltd, commissioned Alison Cameron of Aberdeen City Council Archaeology Unit to conduct an archaeological evaluation on the site of a proposed development at Stoneywood Terrace, Aberdeen. No archaeological features were discovered during the evaluation; however, it was not possible to evaluate the western edge of site (the area of greatest archaeological potential) due to the presence of a grove of mature beech trees. This report recommends that the clients notify Aberdeen City Council Archaeology Unit prior to any future groundworks within this area, to allow an evaluation trench to be dug (if appropriate) to determine the possible location of the Aberdeenshire canal.. 1. Introduction and Background aberdeen3-35013_1 Summary In February 2007, Grampian Developments Ltd commissioned Aberdeen City Council Archaeology Unit to carry out an Archaeological Watching Brief on the site of a proposed development at Caberstone House, 47 Belmont Street, Aberdeen. All groundworks on site were carried out prior to an archaeologist being present in contravention of The town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997(1) and The Specification for Archaeological Watching Brief set out by the Keeper of Archaeology, Aberdeen City Council (February 2007). An archaeologist attended site in a remedial capacity and located no evidence for the existence or survival of any significant archaeological features. 1.

Yours sincerely Martha Clampitt, Committee Services Officer email: [email protected] This page is intentionally left blank Agenda Item 5a Page 3 LATE SHEET DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE – 19/06/2012 Item 6 (Pages 15 - 62) CB/13/00985/FULL – Change of use for the stationing of one residential static caravan and two touring caravans, and parking for two associated vehicles at Paradise Farm, The Causeway, Clophill, MK45 4BA. Additional Consultation/Publicity Responses Anglian Water has confirmed that a foul sewer crosses the site and that they would not permit any building within a 6 metre easement (3m either side of the centre line of the sewer). A plan has been provided by Anglian Water showing the location of the sewer. Comments on the Consultation Response The plan provided by Anglian Water does not represent the location of the sewer pipe on the ground as it is visible where it crosses the watercourse which does not concur with the plan provided. It is considered that the sewer is most likely to run from the manhole cover in the access road across the site to where the pipes are visibly crossing the watercourse.

  • Potton Market Square Walk
    Investigating your Heritage POTTON MARKET SQUARE WALK Peter Ibbett When was the first market held at Potton? How old are its buildings? Where did the design of the Clock House come from? Introduction ‘There is as much pleasure to be had in the chamber music of Bedfordshire or Rutland; perhaps, one might say a more sophisticated pleasure in discovering the essence of these simpler and smaller landscapes.’ W.G Hoskins. ‘The Making of the English Landscape’ 1955. This leaflet is intended to provide an introduction to Potton Market Square. It asks the visitor to take their time and to ask themselves questions about what they see around them. You could devote at least half a day to appreciating the townscape that previous generations have bequeathed and which the present is actively modifying for future Pottonians. It is intended to supplement material that is still in print and can be obtained from the Potton History Society or in the town. Potton is an ancient market town, with population of nearly 5,000, covering 2,671 acres of boulder clay and greensand. Its written history can be traced back to the 10 th century through a grant of land to Ramsey Abbey. At the time of the Doomsday Book Countess Judith, niece of William the Conqueror, held the manor of Potton. By 1501, the Burgoyne family of neighbouring Sutton controlled Potton market, and later bought the estate. Admiral the Hon John Byng at Southill was the next owner in 1752. From 1795 to 1917, the Whitbread family of Southill were Lords of the Manor.

  • Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment July 2017
    Central Bedfordshire Council www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk Level 1 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment July 2017 - 1 - Central Bedfordshire Strategic Flood Risk Assessment Central Bedfordshire Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) 1. Introduction 1.1 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires that local planning authorities, when preparing Local Plans, should undertake a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA). The SFRA appraises the risk of flooding in Central Bedfordshire. Flooding from all sources is considered (fluvial, groundwater, surface water and reservoirs). 1.2 All development proposals must consider existing and future flood risk, taking into account of climate change effects. This information will form the basis for preparing appropriate policies for flood risk management and assessing sites for development. Sites at low risk should normally be the preferred option. However, with suitable mitigation, essential development within high-risk areas can be achieved and the SFRA is designed to help inform CBC in these circumstances. 1.3 Central Bedfordshire’s SFRA is being prepared in two stages: The first stage (Level 1) comprises of a desk based study collating and reviewing existing and historic flooding information. The purpose of this first stage is to provide an assessment of the extent and nature of the risk of flooding in Central Bedfordshire and its implications for the Local Plan. This has been completed. A more detailed second stage SFRA (Level 2) will be undertaken once CBC has identified areas of new development in locations at flood risk. The purpose of this level of assessment is to assist the Council and developers to avoid inappropriate development in areas at risk of flooding, and to direct development away from areas at highest risk wherever possible, identifying suitable mitigation where this is unavoidable.

The Potton Parish GI Plan is funded by Potton Town Council (PTC) as part of their funding of the Potton Parish Neighbourhood Plan, and is facilitated by Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity (BRCC). The production of the GI Plan was requested by the Potton Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group (NPSG) on behalf of PTC; to be a valuable tool in its own right as a planning document, and to inform policies and objectives in the emerging Potton Neighbourhood Plan. This Plan is a revision of the original Potton GI Plan (2010), see Appendix 1. This revised plan will be reviewed annually by PTC to determine progress made, and the NPSG will review the GI Plan every five years and update where required, on behalf of PTC. BRCC was appointed to facilitate the production of this Plan as it is a charity that works with local communities and landowners to conserve and enhance the landscape, wildlife and history in this area.
