  • 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.

  • Luton SUE Site Size (Ha): 283.81
    Site: NLP426 - North Luton SUE Site size (ha): 283.81 Parcel: NLP426f Parcel area (ha): 89.74 Stage 1 assessment Stage 2 assessment Parcel: L2 Parcel: n/a Highest contribution: Purpose 3 - Strong Contribution: contribution Contribution to Green Belt purposes Purpose Comments Purpose 1: Checking The parcel is located adjacent to the large built up area and development here would relate the unrestricted to the expansion of Luton. The parcel is only separated from the settlement edge to the sprawl of large, built- south by occasional hedgerow trees. However, the low hedgerows, and intermittent up areas hedgerow trees along the remaining boundaries provide little separation between the parcel and the rolling farmland beyond the parcel to the north, west and east, so that despite its proximity to Luton, the parcel relates more strongly to the wider countryside and its release would constitute significant sprawl into the countryside. Purpose 2: The development of the parcel would result in little perception of the narrowing of the gap Preventing the between neighbouring towns because the larger towns to the north of Luton, including merger of Flitwick, are separated by the chalk escarpment running east-west which would limit the neighbouring towns impact. Purpose 3: The proximity of the adjacent residential settlement edge has some urbanising influence on Safeguarding the the parcel particularly as the occasional hedgerow trees on the boundary offer little countryside from separation. However, there is no urban development within the parcel itself and openness encroachment and undulating topography of the parcel give it a stronger relationship with the wider downland countryside.

  • Dunstable and the Surrounding Area
    Dunstable and the surrounding area Excellent transport links between St. Pancras and Luton Parkway railway stations means Dunstable is easily reached from London. Excellent road links mean Cambridge is easily accessible and Luton Airport puts Dunstable in touch with cities from all over Europe Dunstable is the oldest charter town in Bedfordshire and is currently home to approximately 36,000 residents, who regularly elect their own Town Council and Central Bedfordshire Council representatives to manage local affairs. Dunstable is fiercely proud of its rich heritage yet, whilst it may be steeped in history, it is very much a town in the present, working towards a bright future. The Grove theatre which opened in 2007 provides Dunstable with a 780-seat purpose built arts and entertainment centre. The development which includes accompanying bars and restaurants overlooking the beautiful re-landscaped Grove House Gardens, provides a striking heart to the cultural identity of the area and a venue for a variety of events. Priory House Heritage and Tourist Information Centre also offers a full programme of entertainment and exhibitions as well as an insight into Dunstable’s amazing past. ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, formerly known as Whipsnade Wild Animal Park, is a zoo and safari park located at Whipsnade, near Dunstable in Bedfordshire. It is one of two zoos that are owned by the Zoological Society of London, a charity devoted to the worldwide conservation of animals and their habitats. Neighboring Luton is the home to Stockwood Park Discovery Centre and Wardown Park and Museum both of these are well worth a visit and are accessible by public transport.

  • I Am Writing to Make You Aware of the Boundary Commission for England's 2023 Review of Parliamentary Constituencies; Details Are Available at Their Website Here
    I am writing to make you aware of the Boundary Commission for England's 2023 Review of Parliamentary constituencies; details are available at their website here. I would encourage you to circulate this amongst your parish councillors and they may wish to share with the wider community. I would like to stress that none of this is intended as political comment; this is not any reflection on our MPs past or present, it is about representation in the future. Also, this is parliament and not local government; it has no effect on my Central Bedfordshire ward nor when my current term of office will end. There is a basic principle that parliamentary constituencies, and the number of people any one MP represents, should contain broadly equal numbers of constituents. Over time, due to housing growth and people's natural migration from one area to another, the balance shifts and some constituencies become significantly "underweight" whilst others run some way "over". Boundary reviews look at whether, by redefining how the lines are drawn, the numbers can be rebalanced. The boundary commission have published a set of proposals which are open to consultation; I would expect that many alternative proposals will be suggested amongst the consultation responses. Whilst the primary considerations are voter numbers and creating constituencies that (however oddly shaped they may be) are not split into two parts, there is also consideration given to how neighbouring but varied communities are grouped together. The draft proposals move the civil parishes of Studham, Kensworth and Whipsnade into a redrawn Luton South. It seems inevitable that the two Luton constituencies will be reshaped; an alternative may be that Studham, Kensworth and Whipsnade are left unchanged and Caddington, Slip End & Hyde are moved to join with what is currently South-West Bedfordshire (although that will also be reshaped and renamed).
