Marston Moreteyne Parish Council MARSTON MORETEYNE PARISH COUNCIL Clerk to the Council Mrs. H. Trustam 30 Armstrong Close Wilstead Bedford MK45 3EJ Tel: 01234 743598 Email: [email protected] 28th August 2017 Central Bedfordshire Council Priory House Monks Walk Chicksands Shefford SG17 5TQ Dear Sirs Draft Local Plan consultation Marston Moreteyne Parish Council has considered the information contained within the Draft Local Plan currently available for public consultation. The Parish Council notes the importance of an adopted local plan and that it should address whether there is a need for additional housing to accommodate a predicted rising population within Central Bedfordshire. However, the draft local plan - albeit high-level - is very vague and lacks clarity on important matters such as infrastructure, education and health facilities. It also does not distinguish adequately or transparently between the future housing needs of the existing population and those who choose to reside in Central Bedfordshire in the future. There needs to be further explanation of how the headline numbers for future housing numbers are calculated as they stand in stark contrast to the adjacent Bedford Borough. As a community, Marston Moreteyne has experienced a substantial amount of development and understands only too well that additional homes impact upon existing health facilities, road usage and education. The current new lower school (Forest End) is being extended to accommodate additional pupils as a result from increased housing developments in the Parish. There is therefore some concern regarding the proposal of four new villages in Marston Vale for up to 5,000 new homes and 40ha of employment. The Parish Council is sceptical whether the proposed villages will be sufficient in size separately to generate adequate infrastructure and services as self-sustaining communities. This will clearly have an adverse impact upon services within surrounding villages – especially Marston Moreteyne. This would include an increase to traffic on the C94 (Old A421). Members are deeply concerned over the potential of coalescence of new development. Therefore, Central Bedfordshire Council needs to ensure the creation of a sufficient, credible buffer between any new settlement/s and the surrounding villages. Furthermore, the Parish Council struggles to envisage how four distinctly separate villages can be located within the geographical area designated for them. In addition, during the public consultation there were references to a ‘Wixams style’ village development which is more accurately described as series of interconnected housing estates. Any alternative counter option to expand existing settlements within the Parish of Marston Moreteyne should only be entertained and conditional on the provision of improved existing roads, a new health centre to cater for the village and acceptable education provision for the community. This should include clearly delineated, protected, green open space providing a large green space buffer around the village to prevent any future coalescence. Housing Growth Location Sites The draft local plan refers to several infill growth options within the Lower and Upper Shelton area of the Parish of Marston Moreteyne. Lower and Upper Shelton is primarily ribbon effect housing and offers very little in amenities. The primary access to Lower and Upper Shelton is via a single-track road with passing places. This road is vastly inadequate to deal with any significant additional traffic. It has been noted that in regard to growth options, all other areas state that development is subject to infrastructure, however, this is not specified or provided for with regard to Lower and Upper Shelton. If you need any further clarification on any of the above points, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours faithfully H. Trustam Mrs. H. Trustam Parish Clerk.

This would necessitate discontinuing the use of Ampthill Baptist Church. The ARO was asked to consider using the Town Ampthill Methodist Church Room, Council Chamber, 66 Dunstable Street, Ampthill AMP1-4 AMP4 Ampthill (part) 887 896 Chandos Road, Ampthill MK45 2JS as a polling station but the Methodist Church Room is more convenient for voters and has parking advantages.

  • Covanta Resource Recovery Facility Proposal at Rookery South Pit
    Marston Moreteyne Action Group www.mmetag.com Covanta Resource Recovery Facility Proposal at Rookery South Pit Notes re IPC Registration Completing the Registration Form During this registration stage you will be asked for brief comments - at a later stage you will be given the opportunity to provide a more detailed written account of your views • Please note the application form should be completed by each individual - not 1 per household. • The form states a guideline of 500 words. The IPC have clarified this in the following statement - “A representation will not be excluded if it exceeds the 500 word limit but it would assist the examining authority in ensuring that all issues are made known as this will inform a judgement on how the examination will proceed. I would therefore encourage you to state your outline case concisely at this stage.” • The form states – and the IPC has confirmed - that if you do not make reference to a particular point or issue YOU are concerned about at this stage you will not be able to make further representations on that topic at any later stage – including the detailed written account – and/or any hearings. • Please avoid using emotional or colourful language in your submission, The IPC have stated your registration may be rejected or portions redacted if your comments are vexatious or frivolous. How exactly they will judge that is open to question! • The IPC have stated that if your submission is rejected in part or as a whole – you will not be advised until after the registration period has closed and therefore will not be able to re-submit.

  • VILLAGE NEWSLETTER February 2021
    Marston Moreteyne Parish Council VILLAGE NEWSLETTER February 2021 PARISH COUNCIL – CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE Budget and Precept 2021/2022 The Council at its January meeting agreed a budget and precept for 2021/2022 which will mean a 0% increase for Band D households. In this way we have been both fiscally prudent and mindful of current economic conditions. Our new Parish Councillor - Jeanette Little The Council is very happy to welcome on board our new Parish Councillor - Jeanette Little. Jeanette is fizzing with fresh ideas about how the Council can be more proactive in crime prevention and engaging with young people which is long overdue and especially relevant today where Covid restrictions close of the opportunities for young people to enjoy life to the full. Noticeboards Two new noticeboards have been ordered for the village as we are aware that the present ones need replacing as it has become difficult to read the information. Sadly, we had hoped they would be delivered this month but due to difficulties the delivery has been put back to the end of February. Cemetery Plans are now in place to enhance the cemetery and provide a new sign, another seat within a contemplation garden, hedge planting to show the different areas and some new flower beds. Some outside funding has been secured from Central Bedfordshire Council to help with this and it is hoped to start fairly soon. A timetable will be formulated for the various items although, of course, the planting will be done in the spring. Marston in Bloom The Parish Council has decided to revitalise the Marston in Bloom scheme and a Working Party has just been set up.
