  • Central Bedfordshire Council – Updated Position on Meeting Unmet Housing Needs Rising from Luton 20Th November 2020
    Central Bedfordshire Council – Updated Position on Meeting Unmet Housing Needs rising from Luton 20th November 2020 The submitted Central Bedfordshire Council Local Plan commits to making provision to meet Luton’s unmet housing needs, and sufficient sites are allocated as a result. Nothing has changed in this regard. The following information is extracted from Central Bedfordshire Council’s response to the Inspector’s Further MIQs for their hearings due to be re-convened in December 2020 (Matter 5, Issue 1, Q3): The Council submitted EXAM 41, following discussions at the hearing sessions in 2019. It presented a list of sitesto be added to Policy SP1, within the Housing Market Area (HMA),that could meet Luton’s needs within their plan period (up to 2031). Following the update of the Housing Trajectory, and as a result of the Modifications being proposed by the Council, these sites are no longer estimated to provide sufficient capacity to meet this need (providing just over 7,300 homes). As such, the list requires amendment to include additional sites. Therefore, in order to reflect the fact that the OAN for Luton should ideally be met within the HMA, all proposed allocations that fall within the HMA have been added to the list. This reflects the fact that any of these sites could be attributed to meeting this need, as well as the needs of Central Bedfordshire, and also provides maximum flexibility.
