The other three areas are London-Stansted- Peterborough- Cambridge, Ashford and Thames Gateway. Luton/ Dunstable/ Houghton Regis and Leighton Linslade is part of the wider MKSM growth area. The growth requirements for MKSM are set out in the Draft Regional Spatial Strategy for the East of England, June 2006. The draft RSS allocation for Luton, Dunstable, Houghton Regis and Leighton Linslade is 26,300 dwellings between 2001 and 2021 and the safeguarding of land for a further 15,400 houses in the period 2021-2031. In terms of employment, the draft RSS refers to the provision of 23,000 new jobs in the period to 2021, and a further 12,000 to 2031. A Luton/Dunstable/Houghton Regis and Leighton Linslade Joint Planning and Transportation Committee (JPTC) has been established to deliver and coordinate these growth requirements. Luton Borough Council, South Bedfordshire District Council and Bedfordshire County Council are working together to produce a Joint Local Development Framework (LDF) covering the whole of Luton and South Bedfordshire. Given Luton and South Bedfordshire’s position on the Sustainable Communities agenda, which identifies the importance of Luton and South Bedfordshire in delivering the Government’s planning and housing agenda for the South East, the LDF and Sustainability Appraisal (SA) represent a critical opportunity to drive forward the sustainability agenda and to present a high-level vision for sustainable development throughout Luton and South Bedfordshire. This SA will be used at key stages in the evolution of the development options and during policy preparation. The SA will primarily focus on identifying the significant effects arsing from the LDF within Luton and South Bedfordshire but the SA will also consider 1 the effects of the LDF on the neighbouring districts of North Hertfordshire and Aylesbury Vale. 1.2 Luton and South Bedfordshire Local Development Framework The Local Development Framework (LDF) is the emerging development plan for Luton and South Bedfordshire. LDFs are the new form of spatial development plan introduced by the Government’s planning reforms in the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (2004) (The Act). The LDF will eventually replace the existing Local Plans. The LDF will consist of a portfolio of Local Development Documents (LDDs) which will include Development Plan Documents (DPDs) which will collectively guide development in Luton and South Bedfordshire. Central to this portfolio is the Core Strategy DPD, which sets out the overall vision and objectives for future development in Luton and South Bedfordshire and provides a framework for later DPDs, including the Growth Area DPD which will make housing land use allocations. In addition to these statutory DPDs there will be a number of non-statutory Supplementary Planning Documents, setting out more detailed guidance at a more specific level. The JPTC is also required to prepare a number of further documents as part of the LDF process, including: • Local Development Scheme (LDS) - 3 year project plan for the preparation of the LDF, it sets out key milestones in DPD and SPD production. • Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) – outlines how the Council aims to involve local communities and stakeholders in the DPD and SPD preparation process (the SCI has been submitted to the Secretary of Sate for approval) • Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) – this report will outline and monitor the progress made with the preparation of the LDF. The JPTC have appointed Halcrow Group Ltd to undertake a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) and Sustainability Appraisal (from here on referred to as SA) of all the emerging LDF LDDs. To ensure the integration of health issues into the SA, Ben Cave Associates are providing specialised health inputs. This Scoping Report comprises the first stage of the SA process. This Report is the overarching Scoping Report for the SA 2 of both the Core Strategy and the Growth Area DPDs. It is intended that this SA will provide a sustainability framework to be taken forward and used for undertaking SAs for future DPDs, SPDs and Area Action Plans. In this Report the acronym SA is used to denote the SEA process as prescribed by the EC SEA Directive and UK Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations (2004), as well as including consideration of broad sustainability issues which would usually be considered in a SA, as set out in ODPM guidance1. 1.3 Background to SEA and SA Under The Act and the SEA Regulations2 which came into force in England and Wales in July 2004 SA and SEA are mandatory for Regional Spatial Strategies (RSS), DPDs and SPDs. The Act requires SAs to be carried out on all DPDs and SPDs. SAs help planning authorities to fulfil the objective of contributing to the achievement of sustainable development in preparing their plans through a structured assessment of the objectives and policies against key sustainability issues for their area. The Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations (2004) which implement European Directive 2001/42/EC, known as the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Directive, requires SEA of a wide range of plans and programmes, including LDFs. The objective of the SEA Directive is to provide for a high level of protection of the environment and to contribute to the integration of environmental considerations into the preparation and adoption of plans, with a view to promoting sustainable development. SEA and SA are very closely linked. SA aims to integrate sustainability issues into decision making by appraising the plan or strategy using environmental, social and economic objectives. SEA also aims to facilitate sustainable development but its emphasis is on integrating environmental considerations into decision making through a thorough analysis of environmental issues.

  • PSOCOPTERA – BARKFLIES by Alan R
    NEGLECTED INSECTS IN BEDFORDSHIRE Beds Natural History Society Conference PSOCOPTERA – BARKFLIES by Alan R. Outen & Ian K. Dawson PSOCOPTERA Barkflies and Booklice (also sometimes referred to as Psocids) Small insects (1.5 – 7mm) with a domed postclypeus (the area at the front of the head between antennae and mouth); long filiform antennae; simple wing venation with two ‘triangular’ cells at tip of forewing; tendency to run rather than fly. Winged barkflies usually hold their wings tent-wise over their abdomens like miniature lacewings. These species can be confused with Psyllids but can be distinguished by gently touching them – psyllids jump away, barkflies don’t. Stenopsocus immaculatus – a common species in Beds. Note the strongly domed postclypeus and long filiform antennae Barkflies - Variations on a theme Some species don’t have full-sized (macropterous) wings but have them much reduced (brachypterous) or absent (apterous). They can be confused with springtails (which however will jump away when touched). Cerobasis guestfalica has been Embidopsocus enderleini recorded from several Beds sites An uncommon species not (yet) found in Beds Available Resources • Excellent British Barkflies website which via the gallery has been brilliant in facilitating identification of this group making them accessible to all. • 2005 RES Handbook is also very good. • Keith Alexander who runs the National Recording Scheme is very helpful. Graphopsocus cruciatus – a common and distinctive Bedfordshire species THE 2005 RES handbook is also excellent with keys that are much easier to follow than many mycological ones ! …….. A Stereo zoom binocular microscope is very useful though not essential ….. …….It is remarkable what can be achieved with the aid of digital photography !! Stenopsocus immaculatus PSOCOPTERA – BARKFLIES 98 British spp in total of which 69 live outdoors, the rest are synanthropic.

  • Central Bedfordshire Council Air Quality Action Plan
    Central Bedfordshire Council Appendix A Central Bedfordshire Council Air Quality Action Plan In fulfilment of Part IV of the Environment Act 1995 Local Air Quality Management 2019 - 2024 Central Bedfordshire Council Local Authority Kay Sterling Officer Department Public Protection Priory House, Monks Walk, Chicksands, Address Shefford, Bedfordshire, SG17 5TQ Telephone 0300 300 5065 E-mail [email protected] Report Reference Ampthill & Sandy AQAP 2019 - 2024 number Date 2018 Central Bedfordshire Council Executive Summary This Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) has been produced as part of our statutory duties required by the Local Air Quality Management framework. It outlines the action we will take to improve air quality in Central Bedfordshire between 2019 and 2024. This is the first action plan relating to the Air Quality Management Areas declared in 2015 (Ampthill and Sandy). Air pollution is associated with many adverse health impacts. It is recognised as a contributing factor in the onset of heart disease and cancer. Additionally, air pollution particularly affects the most vulnerable in society: children and older people, and those with heart and lung conditions. There is also often a strong correlation with equalities issues, because areas with poor air quality are also often the less affluent areas1,2. The annual health cost to society of the impacts of particulate matter alone in the UK is estimated to be around £16 billion3. Central Bedfordshire Council is committed to reducing the exposure of people in Central Bedfordshire to poor air quality to improve health. Air Quality within Central Bedfordshire is generally good; the main source of air pollution is from road traffic emissions, specifically nitrogen dioxide (NO2).

  • Improving Health and Wellbeing in Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes
    Improving health and wellbeing in Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes A resources pack for the local health and care system July 2019 Intro This Resources Pack is one of a series produced for all those working in and with local health and care systems across England. It was commissioned by Age UK on behalf of the VCSE Health and Wellbeing Alliance and Healthwatch following the January 2019 publication of the NHS Long Term Plan. The Resources Pack brings together a range of information and data to build a shared understanding about the local population and the communities in which they live, the wider local context affecting health and wellbeing, and specific aspects related to the delivery of local health and care services. It is intended to be read as a standalone document, but please feel free to use any or all of the material within the pack in your own way, for your own purposes. This includes on websites, media (social or otherwise), in presentations, research documents or other publications. All we ask is that you acknowledge the source. This pack While it is framed within the context of the NHS Long Term Plan the intended audience for this pack is broader than the NHS. We hope this pack will be useful to all those working with people with health or care needs in the Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes area. We would like to encourage you to share this Resources Pack with anyone you think might find it useful – whether they are an NHS or other public sector manager or commissioner, health and social care professional or clinician, social worker, charity, social enterprise, business, special interest or community group, carer, family, friend, neighbour or colleague.
