    APPENDIX 1 CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE LOCAL PLAN 2035: CONSULTATION DRAFT JULY 2017 RESPONSE BY CAMBRIDGESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Cambridgeshire County Council welcomes the opportunity to respond to Central Bedfordshire’s draft Local Plan. These comments have been prepared by Officers of the Council and submitted in accordance with the instructions and timescales set out by Central Bedfordshire. It should be noted that the same comments will be reported to the next meeting of the Economy and Environment Committee (12th October) for formal endorsement by this Council. 2. GENERAL TRANSPORT COMMENTS The A428 and A1 Corridors 2.1 The primary transport corridor between Central Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire centres on the A428, which has a number of existing congestion issues, particularly around St Neots at the western end, at the Caxton Gibbet roundabout at the junction of the A428 and the A1198 and then again at the Cambridge end of the road. In addition to this, it should be noted that a number of development/growth proposals already exist at various points along the A428, with growth at St Neots in the Huntingdonshire District and also at both Cambourne and Bourn Airfield in the South Cambridgeshire District. 2.2 Highways England has consulted on route options for an improved A428 dual carriageway between Caxton Gibbet and the Black Cat roundabout, forming part of the Oxford to Cambridge Expressway. It is anticipated that a preferred route announcement will be made in autumn 2017, with construction expected to start in 2020. 2.3 The Council notes that Highways England is also exploring options for improving the A1 between the M25 and Peterborough for possible inclusion in the Government’s Roads Investment Strategy (RIS2).

Introduction 1.1. This document has been prepared by Savills (UK) Limited on behalf of Mr Jonathan Pym. It provides comments on the First Draft version of the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan 2015-2035, issued by Central Bedfordshire District Council, as a Local Planning Authority. 1.2. Mr Jonathan Pym is the owner of land to the east of Sandy, Bedfordshire. The Estate consider that this land holds latent development potential which can help fulfil, in part, the Council’s vision for the area as now expressed in this first draft of the Local Plan. Indeed, the Estate are of the view that, if properly approached, this land can better satisfy many of the key themes and objectives set out within this First Draft plan than alternatives being offered. In particular, it is considered that it would be better to focus growth in and around the market town of Sandy, in preference to developing a new Growth Location around the former Tempsford Airfield.

  • Bedfordshire Walking Festival
    OPEN DAILY APRIL TO AUGUST 2019 Welcome... to the 10th Annual Bedfordshire Walking Festival Few would have thought the Bedfordshire walking festival would still be taking place ten years on and in a county most people seem to ignore. True it may not be the Cotswolds nor the South Downs but Bedfordshire is a compact county with three distinctive types of walking. The Chalk Hills in the south, the picturesque, wooded undulating area in the middle referred to as the Greensand Country, and a mixture of woodland and the open space in the undulating "Wolds" of the north. Located in England's driest region, this attractive county is a great place to explore on foot and so easy to get to by road, rail, air and water as many have already found. Combine with a great range of walks. led by knowledgeable and friendly leaders, and it becomes easy to see how the festival has grown and grown. To mark the 10th anniversary, and in addition to walks across the county, we have set up Hub's at Woburn, Bedford's Priory Park and Ampthill Park on three of the nine days from where walks will start and from where walking relative information can be obtained. Enjoy a stroll through history at Woburn Abbey The walks and events in the programme are colour coded enabling you to easily select the type of walks • which appeal and the centre page map will enable you to find their location. Explore the award-winning, historic gardens Most of the walks and events are free and do not require a booking however some need to be booked • because there is either a restriction on numbers or because transport has to be organised.
