The planning application is submitted in part as a full application and in part as an outline application (referred to as a hybrid application). 4. The application falls within the area referred to in the Local Plan as the London Luton Airport Strategic Allocation. This is a large area of land that includes not only the operational area of the airport, but commercial/industrial buildings on Percival Way to the north and west of the airport, Wigmore Valley Park to the north and open fields to the north- east that have been identified since 1988 as a new employment area. 5. The application has been the subject of extensive consultation (two separate periods of six weeks), with press and site notices advertising the application. The application has recently been further advertised for a period of 21 days in accordance with the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure)(England) Order 2015. 6. During the period that the planning application has been with the Local Planning authority for determination, London Luton Airport Limited has also announced and carried out early engagement (with consultation) in relation to its aspirations to expand the capacity of the airport by promoting a Development Consent Order (DCO) under the Planning Act 2008. Recently London Luton Airport Limited published the results of its non- statutory consultation and a preferred option. However, it should be noted that the Planning Act 2008 sets up an entirely different process for a DCO application and when that application comes forward it will be considered by the Secretary of State rather than the Local Planning Authority. At present there is no certain timetable for the presentation of any such application. 7. The application for New Century Park is a planning application in its own right, properly made and validated and is therefore to be considered on its merits. The Site and Surroundings 8. The planning application site covers approximately 95ha and encompasses an area that stretches round the periphery of Luton Airport. 9. There are two distinct parcels of land covered by the planning

  • Someries Castle
    TRANSACTIONS. O 45 31 BY THE REV. H. FOWLER, M.A. A few remarks on the ancient associations of this parish may perhaps be suitable as an introduction to our subject. It appears that the earliest notice of Luton is that in the Anglo-Saxon chronicle under the date 571. In that year, it states, Cuthwolf, who was brother of Ceawlin, King of the West Saxons, fought against the Britons at Bedcanford (i.e. Bedford), and took from them four towns ; one of these was AEgelsburig, or Aylesbury, and another Ligeanburg. Ligeanburg has been con- sidered to be the same locality as Lygetune, mentioned in a charter of King Offa ; and this is, undoubtedly, Luton. Ligeanburg or Lygetune means the town on the Lygea, the river now called the Lea. There is a hamlet, formerly called Lygebury, now Limbury ; this perpetuates the name of the British town ; it is on the Lea, about two miles north-west of the modern Luton. The British town itself I take to be a large circular earthwork existing in Leagrave Marsh, about three- quarters of a mile east from Limbury (I am quoting the description in Davis' History of Luton). Its area is about thirty acres, and it is close to the Icknield-way. We may, I think, call this the British Luton. (Davis, however, supposes it to be a Roman camp.) The 32 S. ALBANS ARCHITECTURAL & ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. fighting which preceded its capture, seems to have taken place along a branch of Watling Street, passing through Toddington, Chalgrave, and Chalton. All along this line up to Leagrave Marsh, Saxon weapons and orna- ments, bosses of shields, and bones have been found.* The earliest Saxon settlement seems to have been on the east side of the Lea about a mile from the modern town, on the old road to Barton, as indicated by Saxon pottery and other vestiges of occupation dug up there.
