On 26 July 1985 we wrote to Bedfordshire County Council announcing our intention to undertake a review of the County under section 48{1) of the Local Government Act 1972. Copies of the letter were sent to the principal local authorities, and parishes, in Bedfordshire and in the surrounding counties of Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire; to the National and County Associations of Local Councils; to the Members of Parliament with constituency interests and to the headquarters of the main political parties. In addition, copies were sent to those government departments, regional health authorities, water authorities, and electricity and gas boards which might have an interest, as well as to British Telecom, the English Tourist Board, the local government press and to local television and radio stations serving the area. 2. The County Councils were requested, in co-operation as necessary with the other local authorities, to assist us in publicising the start of the review by inserting a notice for two successive weeks in local newspapers so as to give a wide coverage in the areas concerned.

  • Including Bellcross Homes and Kensworth Builders Ltd) 25Th August 2017
    CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE LOCAL PLAN CONSULTATION – AUGUST 2017 On behalf of Bellcross Company (including Bellcross Homes and Kensworth Builders Ltd) 25th August 2017 INTRODUCTION 1. The following representations are made by Rapleys on behalf of the Bellcross Company (including subsidiaries, Bellcross Homes and Kensworth Builders Ltd) in respect of their land interests within Central Bedfordshire. 2. The land interests are fourfold – Land off Parkside, Houghton Regis, comprising some 13.8ha being promoted for residential development; Land off Trafalgar Drive, Flitwick, comprising some 7.3ha being promoted for residential development; Land off Dunstable Road, Caddington, comprising some 46ha, part of which is being promoted for residential development; and Land off Chalton Heights, Chalton, comprising some 14ha being promoted for mixed residential/employment/roadside development. 3. All four sites have previously been promoted through the iterations of the Local Plan and call for sites exercises. Rapleys welcomes the opportunity to participate in this consultation exercise and provide the following comments below in respect of the Councils draft Local Plan. 4. The representation commentary focusses in generic terms on the overall strategy being considered by the Council, as this is a major element of this consultation and should be read in that context. It is important to get this right rather than be too centred at this stage on the more general development control policies such as affordable housing, open space provision, etc. We reserve the right to provide further comment on these matters at the appropriate time (i.e., the next consultation). Separate comment is then provided in respect of each of the client sites.
