Members were advised that 4 seminars had been held between May and July. Each seminar had covered a different part of the Growth Area and landowners/ developers had been invited to give a presentation and/or submit written representations providing further detail. Following those seminars three maps had been produced showing landowner/ developer sites, sites within/outside the Milton Keynes South Midlands Sub-Regional Strategy (MKSMSRS) areas of search and categorised indicative land uses proposed. The written representations submitted at the seminars had been collated to form a ‘library’ of documents that would be available for members/ developers/ landowners and the public to view. The local authorities would need to consider the wide variety and location of uses promoted and the significant opportunities, challenges and potential conflicts that those, the review of the Green Belt and the Growth Area designation would create. The seminars had proved an effective and popular way of engaging with developers/landowners and the Chair commented that they had been very interesting. Resolved: (i) That the Joint Committee’s thanks be expressed to the developers and landowners for their assistance in the consultation exercise. (ii) That the key findings of the proposals contained in the submissions as summarised in the maps and tables appended to the report (Ref: 5) be noted. (iii) That the Member Steering Group be requested to ensure that the preparation of the Core Strategy and Growth Area DPDs pay due regard to the key findings stemming from this exercise. (iv) That it be noted that all the information emanating from the consultation is now in the public domain. 46 JOINT STATEMENT OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT (SCI) (REF: 6) The Joint Committee received a report on the representations received to the pre-submission draft joint Statement of Community Involvement (SCI), officer’s responses to them and any modifications to the SCI considered necessary. Members were advised that it was a legal requirement to prepare an SCI setting out how the Joint Committee intended to consult and proactively involve the community in the preparation of planning policy documents and the processing of planning applications. The preparation of the document was now reaching an advanced stage and it was imperative to take it forward to the next stage as soon as possible, preferably before Christmas 2006. The next step would be to formally submit the revised draft following the recent public consultation to the Government and commence a further six weeks of public consultation on the document. The document had been through two stages of consultation; the first a pre- preparation stage and the second, the pre-submission stage which had consisted of the production of posters, press releases and mail-outs. The Chair commented that although he was pleased to see the response, he would liked to have seen the mapping out of where responses had come from. Resolved: (i) That the officer responses to the representations received and the associated recommended modifications to the draft SCI attached at Appendices A and B of the report (Ref: 6) be approved. (ii) That, subject to resolution (vi) below, approval in principle be given for the Member Steering Group to be authorised to approve the final SCI document for submission to the Government as the Joint Committee’s preferred option SCI, as modified in accordance with the schedule of representations and proposed modifications appended to the report. (iii) That approval in principle be given for officers to be authorised to make any necessary non-material modifications to the final SCI document prior to submission. (iv) That, subject to resolution (vi) below, approval in principle be given to the Member Steering Group to be authorised to approve the Statement that legally must accompany the submitted SCI setting out which bodies have been consulted in the preparation of the SCI to date, how they have been consulted, a summary of the main issues raised and how they have been addressed in the document. (v) That, subject to resolution (vi) below, approval be given to commence the th associated post-submission SCI public consultation on 6P P November 2006 for a th period of 6 weeks, ending on 18P P December 2006. (vi) That resolutions (ii), (iv) and (v) above are subject to the caveat that implementation will necessarily be determined by progress in respect of the intended formalisation of the status of the Committee as a Local Planning Authority for development plans work (under S.29 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004). 47 REGIONAL FUNDING ALLOCATION – TRANSPORT SCHEMES (REF: 7) The Joint Committee received a report on the implications of the th announcement of the Regional Funding Allocation on 6P P July. Members were advised that the Secretary of State for Transport had generally accepted the priority advice from the region and had divided the schemes into two categories. For schemes in the Joint Committee’s area, the categories were as follows: Schemes for funding in the next three years (2006/7 to 2008/9) Approved scheme not underway – Luton Dunstable Translink Indicative list of schemes form 2009/10 to 2015/16 Approved schemes – A5 to M1 link road Luton Town Centre developments Whilst the recognition of the importance of the Translink scheme and allocation of funding in the period to 2008/9 was welcomed, the potential delay to the A5 to M1 link was a matter of great concern. The announcement meant that potentially there could be up to a five year delay on the scheme from the current timetable. The Minister had given a clear instruction to the region that it should attempt to bring forward delivery of the M1 to A5 link. Early delivery was crucial as potential urban expansions to the north of Dunstable and Houghton Regis were dependant on progressing the scheme. The Minister also suggested that there was a possibility of building M1 J11a as part of the M1 J10 to 13 widening scheme. There were strong financial and economic arguments for constructing J11a as part of the M1 widening scheme and there would be less disruption to local traffic. It would also assist earlier delivery of the A5 to M1 link. Mr. Kirkdale, a Highways Agency representative present at the meeting, informed the Joint Committee that the Agency had identified what needed to be undertaken to deliver the scheme earlier. The Chair stressed that the scheme was urgent and he reiterated that if it were delayed it would have a dire effect on the Joint Committee and could encourage land use pressures in areas which were not the best. In response to a question raised, Mr. Kirkdale reported that the Agency was looking at how funds could be received to progress the scheme. The Chair commented that he was concerned about the lack of joined up working and he felt the Joint Committee should not have to be fighting the Highways Agency. Mr. Kirkdale reported that the Agency was working with all areas of the Government and had made it clear how important the scheme was but there were many other schemes in the East of England which were important to others. The Chair thanked Mr. Kirkdale for attending the meeting and commented that it would be very much appreciated if he could attend future meetings of the Joint Committee. Resolved: (i) That it be agreed that the Joint Committee will keep pressure on the Highways Agency to progress the bypass through statutory procedures to take up funding when available. (ii) That the Highways Agency be requested to provide to the Joint Committee the cost of construction of M1 junction 11a at the same time as the M1 junction 10 to13 widening scheme and a breakdown of the costs on a year by year basis to keep the projects aligned.

  • 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.
