It is based on an independent study by Chris Blandford Associates (CBA) working under the close supervision of a steering group consisting of representatives from the Bedfordshire and Luton Green Infrastructure Consortium - a multi- functional partnership of local authorities, government agencies, countryside and community related organisations. The Consortium encompasses a wide range of interests from within the sector - including spatial planning, landscape, historic environment, biodiversity, countryside access and public open space. This has enabled us to draw from a deep pool of knowledge and experience in the production of this Plan. The publication of the Milton Keynes & South Midlands Sub-Regional Strategy in March 2005 contained proposals that signalled a period of rapid growth in housing and employment-related development, and associated infrastructure for Bedfordshire & Luton. The Sub-Regional Strategy recognises the need to ensure that development contributes to an improved environment, by protecting and enhancing environmental assets and providing related green infrastructure to meet the needs of existing and expanding communities. The Plan responds to the Sub-Regional Strategy by providing the strategic framework for green infrastructure provision. It is based on the principle of ensuring a net gain in green infrastructure provision to meet growth needs and address existing strategic deficiencies. It is intended that the strategic green infrastructure framework proposed in this Plan will be used: • by local planning authorities/Local Delivery Vehicles in guiding the location/pattern of development, and formulating green infrastructure policy in their Core Strategy and associated supporting policies/plans within the Local Development Framework • by the Consortium to prepare more detailed plans to guide the development/ delivery of the strategic green infrastructure investment priorities identified in the framework plan • to provide the strategic framework for production of green infrastructure plans at the district and community level, which identify local green infrastructure frameworks and associated investment plans • as a source of information and tool to guide landowners, planners and developers in formulating land use plans and proposals which maximise environmental benefits and deliver a net gain in green infrastructure. The need to meet the deadlines for planning the new Growth Areas has meant a demanding timetable for the production of this Plan. Many members of the Consortium have been working to provide the necessary information for this strategic level document. We also acknowledge the flexibility and efforts of CBA in meeting our demanding work programme. The production of this Strategic Green Infrastructure Plan for Bedfordshire & Luton marks an important first step in the process of proactively planning the future development and delivery of green infrastructure, necessary to build sustainable communities throughout the county. The preparation of the Strategic Green Infrastructure Plan was financially supported by the following organisations: Bedfordshire & Luton Green Infrastructure Consortium February 2007 i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We would like to thank all the organisations represented on the Steering Group for their guidance and support throughout the preparation of the Bedfordshire & Luton Strategic Green Infrastructure Plan, in particular: • Joel Carré, Environmental Services Manager, BRCC • Alison Myers, Landscape Officer, Bedfordshire County Council (Heritage & Environment Service) • David Bevan, Heritage & Environment Manager, Bedfordshire County Council (Heritage & Environment Service) • Gill Cowie, Senior Planner (Policy), Bedford Borough Council • Simon Fisher, Greenspace Officer, Bedford Borough Council • Jackie Patterson, Acting Service Manager, Luton Borough Council (Environment and Regeneration) • Graham King, Senior Specialist, Natural England (East of England Region) • Jane Conway, Development & Business Manager, Luton Borough Council (Parks Service) • John Comont, County Ecologist, Bedfordshire County Council (Heritage & Environment Service) • Jon Balaam, Countryside Project Development Officer, Bedfordshire County Council (Countryside Access Service) • Jonathan Woods, Countryside Access Development Team Leader, Bedfordshire County Council (Countryside Access Service) • Mark Saccoccio, Senior Planning Officer, South Bedfordshire District Council • Richard Woolnough, Director, Greensand Trust • Sue Frost, Senior Planning Officer, Mid Bedfordshire District Council • Graham Bellamy, Conservation Manager, The Wildlife Trust • Tim Earthy, Assistant Principal Planning Officer, Bedfordshire County Council (Heritage & Environment Service) In particular, the Consortium acknowledges the guidance and assistance provided by the Steering Group’s project manager, Richard Woolnough. We would also like to thank the CBA Project Team who comprised Dominic Watkins, Bill Wadsworth and Jonathan Webb; and Katharine Banham of the Bedfordshire and Luton Biodiversity Recording and Monitoring Centre who was responsible for creation of the maps within this Plan. On behalf of the Steering Group, we would like to thank representatives of the organisations who participated in the two stakeholder workshops held in February and March 2006, and also those organisations who supplied data and background information for the project. David Hopkins Green Infrastructure Officer – Green Infrastructure Consortium February 2007 ii SUMMARY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Purpose of the Plan This Plan has been developed by the Bedfordshire & Luton Green Infrastructure Consortium and is based on work undertaken by Chris Blandford Associates (CBA) to establish proposals for a Bedfordshire & Luton Strategic Green Infrastructure Plan. The aim of the Plan is to develop a spatial vision for establishing a strategic green infrastructure framework, necessary to provide the foundations for sustainable communities across Bedfordshire and Luton in the period to 2021. The Plan is intended to provide the spatial context and evidence base for guiding the location and pattern of development, formulating green infrastructure policy within Local Development Frameworks, and creating a framework for production of local green infrastructure plans, greenspace strategies and other similar documents at the district/borough and community level. It is also intended to be used as a source of information and tool to guide landowners, planners and developers in formulating land use plans

  • Minerals Site Allocations Plan – Repreferred Options Consultation
    9. APPENDIX B Minerals Site Allocations Plan – Report of Preferred Options Consultation – Appendix B 1.1 This report sets out the preferred options identified in the Bedfordshire and Luton Minerals Site Allocations plan alongside a summary of the consultation responses. It also contains initial officer recommendations in relation to the issues raised 1.2 A complete set of responses to the Minerals Site Allocations Plan is available on request 2. General 2.1 Go-East considers that Preferred Option Report has been produced in a comprehensive and systematic fashion. It notes that a sustainability appraisal has been carried out and is pleased to see a commentary on how this has influenced the development of the preferred options throughout the document, including the testing of potential sites and the justification for site selection. 2.2 It considers that layout, form, content and use of maps in the document are satisfactory. It does, however, suggest that a useful piece of evidence to underpin the submitted document would be a review of sites not worked for ten years or more to establish the likelihood of production being revived. 2.3 It also suggests that the overall need for minerals that is set out in the Site Allocations DPD is a strategic matter which should be addressed in the Core Strategy. 2.4 It must also be highlighted that operators and landowners whose sites were within the Issues and Options papers and have not been included within the Preferred Options have objected to their non inclusion. 3. Chapter 4 Aggregate Minerals – Overall Need Question 1 Do you agree that the identified need is correct? Please give reasons with your answer.

  • Covanta Rookery Pit Incinerator - Reference No EPR/WP3234DY/A001
    Covanta Rookery Pit Incinerator - Reference No EPR/WP3234DY/A001 Dear Sirs I am writing to you on behalf of Bedfordshire Against Covanta Incinerator (BACI) - A coalition of Residents, Parish & Borough Councillors and Action Groups members who are proactively expressing their concern and - where appropriate - protesting against the Covanta Incinerator at Rookery Pit. There is a great deal of public interest in this development as demonstrated by the following: 3,626 people have signed our petition located at https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/stop-covanta- building-an-efw-incinerator-plant.html - paper copy available if requested in writing Our Facebook group member numbers are currently 1,448 Our website has received 8,287 visits since its launch in November 2016 We believe that a permit should not be granted by the Environment Agency to Covanta to operate an Incineration Plant to be located at Rookery Pit South, Bedfordshire. There are a great many factors involved in this development the Environment Agency must take into consideration. These include: Covanta as an operator, Veolia as a supplier, the time elapsed since planning approval, the local area weather issues, the local area impacts, impacts further afield, Greenhouse Gases impact/Carbon Budget and Government Policies. Since the Covanta Incinerator received planning permission in 2011 there have been a number of new and updated Governmental and EU policies regarding the Environment that will have significance in this permit decision. These include (but are not limited to) - Natural Environment White Paper, the England Biodiversity Strategy, Water for Life, the Waste Policy Review, the National Climate Change Adaptation Programme, the revised EU air quality standards and the Green Book: valuation of energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
