essential for the economy, environment and society. The development plans that local authorities draw up, in consultation with local people, developers, investors and statutory bodies, set a vision for what an area should look like in the future and help decide who can build what, where and how, and make sure that buildings and structures get built in the right place and to the right standards. 1.2 In accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework and the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004, this document is the Local Plan for Central Bedfordshire and is titled the “Development Strategy for Central Bedfordshire”. The Development Strategy sets out the vision, objectives, spatial strategy and overarching policies to guide development in Central Bedfordshire to 2031. The Development Management policies provide the policy framework against which all planning applications will be assessed. 1.3 The Development Strategy replaces the north Core Strategy and Development Management Policies Document (2009) and the majority of the remaining policies within the South Bedfordshire Local Plan (2004),the Mid Bedfordshire Local Plan (2005) and the remaining saved policies of the Bedfordshire and Luton Minerals and Waste Local Plan (2005) so far as they affect Central Bedfordshire. The greater part of the north Site Allocations Document (2011) remains in addition to the Minerals and Waste Local Plan – Strategic Sites and Policies (2014) which sits alongside the Development

  • 13.3 Roadside Nature Reserves
    13.3 ROADSIDE NATURE RESERVES: Roadside Nature Reserves can contribute to the core objectives as follows Safety Remove risk of visibility obstruction to users of the highway Serviceability Allow reasonable access to these areas Sustainability Fulfilling statutory duty Protection of the environment for future generations 13.3.1 Introduction The County Council has identified areas of roadside verge that have high value of flora and forna. These are recorded and shown on a GIS overlay and are identified on site by means of marker posts. No cutting, other than for road safety in swaths and visibility splays, shall take place on roadside nature reserves. Within this document, the County Ecologist will produce a report each year that sets out the treatment that is required for each nature reserve. Any maintenance work required by the County Ecologist shall be carried out in August/September or as directed. Where required, all cuttings shall be collected and removed from a nature reserve. There are also a number of sites of special scientific interest (SSSI) throughout the county. No cutting, other than for road safety in swaths and visibility splays, shall be carried out on these verges without first contacting Natural England or the County Ecologist. 13.3.1.2 RVNRs & SSSIs - Management requirements This list was originally created in 1998. It has been amended in 2000 and again in 2002 as surveys have revealed more information about sites or other circumstances have changed. In 2002 the list was expanded to include reserves on trunk roads though it is recognised that the management of such roads remains with the Highways Agency.

Review of national core biodiversity indicator within Local Development Framework Annual Monitoring Reports Acknowledgments Appendices A – Environment Agency General Quality Assurance Scheme B1 - Condition data for Bedfordshire SSSIs B2 - Condition data for Bedfordshire CWSs C – NI 197 baseline data D – Extracts from local Annual Monitoring Reports Introduction In 2001 the Greensand Trust was commissioned to investigate and develop a set of indicators which would give a broad picture of the health of the natural environment of Bedfordshire. Baseline data for an initial set of indicators was produced in 2003; wherever possible results were given at district as well as county level. This indicator set has been updated and reported on regularly since then. The introduction of a new national biodiversity indicator for local authorities has prompted a reporting round more promptly then would otherwise have been the case to allow local authorities to report as necessary.

  • Route Options for Cambridge to Bedford
    Route options for Cambridge to Bedford 2nd edition December 2014 Railfuture Oxford to Cambridge (East West Rail) campaign nd 2 edition December 2014 Route options for Cambridge to Bedford (East West Rail Central Section) Executive Summary The Government has approved and funded a new railway, using former and existing rail routes, between Bedford and Oxford via Milton Keynes with a spur to Aylesbury and High Wycombe. This is the Western Section of East West Rail. The government also supports, in principle, a Central Section linking Cambridge with Bedford by a new cross-country line. This report outlines Railfuture’s concept for a fast high quality, high capacity route right across this fast developing national economic powerhouse. We present three options for the routing of the line across Cambridgeshire to the Bedford area. A key Railfuture principle is that the route should run between the existing main stations of Cambridge and Bedford. Therefore we present alternatives for routes from the Cambridge station to the main route options, and two alternatives for routes from Bedford station. We believe that the new railway should be routed to be of the greatest use to Cambridge and Cambridgeshire in that it should be routed to help alleviate some of the south of the county’s transport problems as it expands into new settlements. Our conclusion is that the optimum route would be north- westerly from Cambridge, enabling it to serve Cambourne and the proposals for development at Bourn Airfield and on the east side of St Neots. The northern route would have a junction with the high speed East Coast Mainline in the St Neots area.
