  • Meppershall Green Infrastructure Plan 2011
    Meppershall Green Infrastructure Plan 2011 Meppershall Parish Council MEPPERSHALL’S GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN Introduction: Meppershall’s Green Infrastructure (GI) Plan is part of a programme of 19 parish and town GI plans across the area funded by Central Bedfordshire Council and facilitated by Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity, the Greensand Trust and the Marston Vale Trust. BRCC was asked by Central Bedfordshire Council to assist in the production of the GI plans as it is a charity that works with local communities and landowners to conserve and enhance the landscape, wildlife and history in this area. At the heart of BRCCs work is the belief that the best results are achieved by empowering local communities, giving them a say in issues that affect them. BRCC has over 50 years experience of community development support and facilitating community consultation; and has nearly 20 years experience of planning and delivering green infrastructure projects in east Bedfordshire. What the plan shows The community green infrastructure plan shows information about the existing environment, and identifies aspiration and proposals from community members to enhance the local green infrastructure. These aspirations and proposals include priorities to maintain existing assets, enhance or restore existing assets, and create new green infrastructure. The information is shown on a map, which identifies both existing green infrastructure, and aspirations for improving the green infrastructure network. The plan as a whole is based on a robust approach to making and implementing a high quality green infrastructure network for the existing and future residents of [town or parish name]. It should be acknowledged that not all of the aspirations identified will be delivered, because there are many other influencing factors, such as the views of landowners, existing planning permissions and allocations, potential future land use allocations and the cost of enhancements.

  • 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. In line with this, Policy SP1 is proposed to be modified as follows (the additional sites are highlighted in red for ease): In addition, the unmet housing needs of 7,350 homes arising from Luton will be delivered by 2031 through a combination of the following sites within the Luton HMA: (SC1) North Houghton Regis (1&2) (SA1) North of Luton (HAS05) Land East of Barton le Clay (HAS07) Caddington Park, Caddington (HAS14) Land off Eaton Park, Eaton Bray (HAS17) Land South West of Steppingley Road, Flitwick (HAS18) Site adj.
