  • Urban Capacity Report July 2017
    Central Bedfordshire Council www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk Urban Capacity Report July 2017 - 1 - Central Bedfordshire Urban Capacity Report Central Bedfordshire Urban Capacity Report 1. 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.

    Technical Note Local Plan – Transportation– East of Luton Project No. 16079-01 6 September 2017 Client NORTH HERTFORDSHIRE DISTRICT COUNCIL Author Stacey Capewell, Atholl Noon Authorised Atholl Noon 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 North Hertfordshire District Council (NHDC) has requested Markides Associates (MA) to comment on the likely transport implications of the proposed allocation of 2,100 dwelling units in the NHDC Local Plan in the East of Luton (EoL) area, in the light of the latest information in the Luton Borough Council (LBC) Local Plan, including the Main Modifications. 1.2 LBC’s representations to the NHDC local plan (November 2016) state that: “NHDC Local Plan Policy SP19 (East of Luton) and supporting text are not considered to be justified, effective or positively prepared in relation to transportation provision. NHDC do not appear to have tested the provision of new local/strategic distributor roads linking the A505, development around Cockernhoe and Century Park. The transport model used to test the NHDC Local Plan is an earlier version of the Luton model and is based on the assumption that are in the Pre-Submission Luton Local Plan rather than the increased capacity of the Luton [sic] in its 2016 SHLAA”. 1.3 This technical note briefly describes: • The evidence base presented for the Luton Local Plan in terms of transport; • The proposed Luton main modification that changes the residential dwellings assumed in the Local Plan; • The outline proposals and modelling work undertaken on the East of Luton proposals. • Information provided on current planning applications; and • The relevant sections of the Inspector’s report on the Luton Local Plan.
