CBT comprises senior representatives from the Council, Police, Fire, Health, Education, Business, Town and Parish Councils and the Voluntary and Community Sector. This prospectus is intended to raise understanding and awareness for anyone standing as a candidate for the Bedfordshire Police and Crime Commissioner. Central Bedfordshire – Our Vision Our Vision - “Realising the area’s economic potential to be globally connected, deliver sustainable growth, ensuring a green, prosperous and ambitious place for the benefit of all” Our vision for Central Bedfordshire is one of greater economic prosperity based on sustainable growth. We need to ensure that Central Bedfordshire fulfils its economic potential, and that there are more local jobs for local people. We will experience considerable population growth over the next 20 years and we need to make sure that we have the houses and facilities needed to support this growth, so that Central Bedfordshire remains a desirable place. Importantly, our vision reflects the views of local people, communities and stakeholders and responds to their aspirations for Central Bedfordshire. There are two key themes to delivering this vision: Creating the conditions for economic success & community prosperity Raising standards and tackling inequalities We know that the only way we can achieve our vision is by ensuring that we continue to listen and respond to what our residents, businesses and communities are telling us. It is only by all of us working together that we can shape Central Bedfordshire to be the place we want it to be, both now and in the future Town & Parish Councils The Localism Act 2011 and the Open Public Services White Paper supports a national drive to shift power away from central government to local government, communities and individuals. This is highlighted through the adopted Community Engagement Strategy, with a key principle “enhancing the role of town and parish councils”. Current effective partnership working with the town and parish councils will grow and develop over the next few years (see appendix A for further details). 4 Central Bedfordshire Sustainable Community Strategy Priorities Maximising employment opportunities and delivering housing growth to meet the needs of our communities Ensuring our local people have the skills to prosper Keeping our communities safe Nurturing a sense of pride and belonging Getting around and caring for a green and clean environment Promoting health and reducing health inequalities Educating, protecting and providing opportunities for children and young people Supporting and caring for an ageing population and those who are most vulnerable CBT Priorities for 2011 – 2013 Jobs growth including infrastructure developments, skills, apprenticeships, and youth unemployment Anti social behaviour including violence against the person and those who are repeat victims of violence Child poverty improving the life chances of our young people Facilitating and enabling communities to do more for themselves Links to Related Documents Bedfordshire Police Authority’s Police and Crime Commissioner Prospectus http://www.bedfordshirepoliceauthority.co.uk/PCC-&-Police-Reform.html Central Bedfordshire’s Sustainable Community Strategy 2010 – 2031 http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/strategies-and- policies/default.aspx Central Bedfordshire’s Community Engagement Strategy 2010 – 2013 http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/strategies-and- policies/default.aspx Central Bedfordshire Community Safety Partnership Plan 2012 – 2013 http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/health-and-social-care/community- safety/partnership-community-safety.aspx Central Bedfordshire’s Economic Development Plan http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/local-business/business-information-and- advice/local-economic-information-policy.aspx Central Bedfordshire’s Delivery of services by Town & Parish Councils (draft framework) http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/local-government-in- central-bedfordshire/town-parish-councils.aspx 5 Key Attributes & Projects Home to world leading eduction institutes such as Cranfield University Above average new business survival rates Over 140 languages spoken, and a highly skilled workforce Vibrant and engaged Voluntary and Community Sector 28,750 new homes planned for Central Bedfordshire by 2031 Investment in the East West rail route from Bedford to Oxford will provide a new rail route through Central Bedfordshire A range of excellent leisure & cultural facilities generating an average of £465 million visitors spend1 – iconic attractions including Woburn Safari Park, Whipsnade Zoo and Dunstable Downs Vast areas of green such as Greensands Ridge which provide space for reflection and outdoor pursuits High quality rural and village homes close to main employment sites M1 motorway development at Toddington which will increase the transport capacity of the area Center Parcs at Woburn Forest, which opens in the spring 2014 Guided Busway being developed between Luton and Dunstable due to be completed 2012 and open in 2013 ` 1 Source = Business Ambassador Prospectus 6 Central Bedfordshire Wards 1.

As a consequence of suggestions which had arisen in the course of the review of their parish boundaries, South Bedfordshire District Council wrote on 3 September 1980 requesting us to review the boundary between their district and Mid Bedfordshire District with a view to making proposals for changes in two places. One of the changes recommended to us arose from a suggestion by Barton-le-Clay Parish Council, and involved the transfer of an area of land from the parish of Pulloxhill in Mid Bedfordshire District to the parish of Barton-le-Clay in South Bedfordshire District, so that the whole of the Barton industrial estate would lie within Barton-le-Clay instead of straddling the boundary as at present. This change also affected one residential property (Faldo Farm) and an area of farmland. The other recommended change aiose from a suggestion by Hockliffe Parish Council, and involved the transfer of an axea of land from the parish of Battlesden in Mid Bedfordshire District to the parish of Hockliffe in South Bedfordshire District, in order to move the boundary away from the heart of the village of Hockliffe, and in particular to rectify the situation whereby the new Hockliffe village school was currently on the Battlesden side of the boundary.

Land off A5 at Checkley Wood Farm, Watling Street, Hockliffe, Leighton Buzzard LU7 9LG Bedfordshire Gardens Trust is responding to this application on behalf of the Gardens Trust, statutory consultee for planning applications affecting registered historic parks and gardens. Although this application originated in 2016, it was only received by the Gardens Trust on 24 August 2017, giving a very short time to assimilate the voluminous documentation and respond. I hope that in future such referrals will be more timely. This response is restricted to the impact of the proposal on registered parks and gardens, and does not cover other heritage aspects more generally. Summary: Bedfordshire Gardens Trust objects to this application owing to the level of harm to the Grade II registered site at Battlesden Park, and the Grade 1 registered site at Woburn Abbey. Registered parks and gardens within the Study Area The cultural heritage assessment by Headland Archaeology (as revised September 2016) states that there are two registered parks and gardens within 5km of the proposed turbine – Woburn Abbey and Battlesden Park. For completeness, it should be noted that there is now a third site within that radius: the formal gardens at Stockgrove House, Leighton Buzzard, were registered Grade II on 15 November 2016 (list entry number 1434590).
