  • Marstonmarston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire Marstonmarston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire
    MarstonMarston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire MarstonMarston Moretaine, Central Bedfordshire Marston Thrift represents a unique and exciting opportunity to create a viable and sustainable new village community of 2,000 homes close to Marston Moretaine in line with the Central Bedfordshire local plan. What you see here is only the beginning of the journey, we will deliver: • 2,000 new homes, including a range of home types and tenures. We will work with the country’s best housebuilders to craft homes of the highest quality. The range of homes will be designed around fresh air, green space and excellent connections • A 50 bed extra care facility • Two new lower schools and one new middle school, delivered alongside the new homes to cater for the increased demand for school places • A community hub with healthcare, retail, and leisure opportunities • Improved walking, cycling, and public transport facilities, including a dedicated ‘park and change’ facility • An extension to the existing Millennium Country Park, providing a significant new area of open space for new and existing residents to enjoy • A new community woodland delivered in partnership with the Forest of Marston Vale Trust, contributing to the overall objective of increasing woodland within the Marston Vale 1 2 Marston Thrift is not reliant on significant new infrastructure and benefits from the recently completed improvement work carried out on the A421. The site is free from physical constraints, in single ownership and has immediate accessibility to existing transport connections. We are therefore capable of delivering housing early within the plan period, with the first residential completions anticipated within three years, of obtaining an outline planning consent, helping to meet Central Bedfordshire’s strategic housing needs from the outset.

  • Bus Service Information – Cranfield Area
    Appendix 6 BUS SERVICE INFORMATION – CRANFIELD AREA OVERVIEW Survey undertaken of the parishes in the Cranfield area on 30 July 2010. The Central Bedfordshire booklet “Flitwick, Ampthill and Cranfield Bus timetables and Travel Guide dated May 2010” was used as a basis for the survey. BROGBOROUGH Served by Stagecoach 160, Cedar 164, Stagecoach 165, Flittabus FL2 Timing Points: Post Office (160, 165, FL2, RR3); Highfield Farm (164) Brogborough is currently surrounded by major roadworks associated with the A421 dualling between the M1 Junction 13and Bedford and thus street furniture has a temporary and dilapidated appearance. Whilst there are two dilapidated bus shelters on the westbound side of the road, adjacent to the shops and Highfield Crescent, neither has any flag or bus service information. It is not even clear where, during the current disruption, buses actually stop. There are no bus stops in the eastbound direction and the current 165 serves Marston Gate Business Centre to set down Brogborough passengers to avoid crossing the A421; however there is no indication where the stop might be. Brogborough represents all that is wrong with bus service information provision but the temporary nature of the road layout is noted. CAULCOTT Served by Stagecoach V1, V2, 160, 165 and 168 Timing Point: Bedford Road Snagge Court Opposite Snagge Court (from Bedford) there is a Stagecoach stop and flag showing Venus to Cranfield Town Centre ( sic ) but with no timetable information. In the opposite direction (towards Bedford) there is a plastics bus shelter with flag affixed to end showing Venus and a timetable for V1 in both directions.

  • Marston Moreteyne Green Infrastructure Plan 2010
    Marston Moreteyne Green Infrastructure Plan 2010 Marston Moreteyne Parish Council Parish Green Infrastructure Plan Marston Moreteyne Introduction Marston Moreteyne’s Green Infrastructure (GI) Plan is part of a programme of 19 parish and town GI plans across the area funded by Central Bedfordshire Council and facilitated by Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity, the Greensand Trust and the Marston Vale Trust. The partnership of environmental charities was asked by Central Bedfordshire Council to assist in the production of GI plans as between them they have a strong track-record of work with local communities and landowners, to conserve and enhance landscapes, wildlife and history in Bedfordshire. Partners believe that best results are achieved by empowering local communities, giving them a say in issues that affect them. Together they have accrued many years experience of community development, support and facilitating community consultation; as well as planning and delivering green infrastructure projects in Bedfordshire. What the plan shows The community green infrastructure plan shows information about the existing environment, and identifies aspiration and proposals from community members to enhance the local green infrastructure. These aspirations and proposals include priorities to maintain existing assets, enhance or restore existing assets, and create new green infrastructure. The information is shown on a map, which identifies both existing green infrastructure, and aspirations for improving the green infrastructure network. The plan as a whole is based on a robust approach to making and implementing a high quality green infrastructure network for the existing and future residents of Marston Moreteyne. It should be acknowledged that not all of the aspirations identified will be delivered, because there are many other influencing factors, such as the views of landowners, existing planning permissions and allocations, potential future land use allocations and the cost of enhancements.
