Keep up to date with what’s going on in Flitton, Greenfield and Wardhedges Yet again it is disappointing to note that more vandalism has occurred at the Playing Field which of course costs us all money as any repairs have to be paid for out of the parish precept. Please be vigilant and report anything untoward to the police or a parish council member. Also some irresponsible people are still allowing their dogs into the rec and of course dog mess invariably ensues which is totally unacceptable. Nappies are also being found in the litter bins and we would ask if this practise could cease. New litter bins with tops are shortly being installed in the rec which hopefully will prevent rubbish spilling on to the grass. As we do not have bins for recyclable rubbish, please take that home with you. No doubt you will all have seen and admired the new notice-board outside the church hall in Flitton. This was made by a local tradesman and parishioner Gary Jones and we are delighted that Gary has now made another one for Greenfield in exactly the same style. After consultation with Greenfield villagers it has been decided to site this opposite Cornerways Garage in the same position as it was some years ago. It is hoped that this will be in place before the end of September. Following the installation of chicanes there have been a number of complaints about the position of the post box in Greenfield at the bottom of Holmewood Road. Consequently the Post Office has agreed to move this to a more suitable location at the top of School Lane next to the phone box. It is hoped that this will be done by the end of October. A public meeting was held on the 31st July in Westoning Village Hall to provide initial details of a proposed Solar Farm at Clayhill Farm on the border of Westoning and Flitton & Greenfield Parishes. The developer, a company called Axiom, set out plans to install a large (19 MW) solar farm covering 36 ha of farmland, which will generate electricity for the grid. They have had a number of meetings with Central Bedfordshire Council planning officers and taken ad- vice on modifications to the scheme to minimise the visual impact of the scheme. The site layout has been chosen for its proximity to a large electricity sub station and its low impact on visual amenity. At the meeting the developer took a number of questions from the public. The main issues relating to planning concerned a public footpath which runs through the area proposed and the quality of the farm land being displaced. With regard to the footpath the developer talked of needing to divert the path slightly whilst at the same time up- grading it by using a farm track. This will be the subject of a separate application for the diversion of the path. The land is currently growing wheat and is grade 3a agricultural land. The developer stressed that the solar farm would be sown with a wildflower rich meadow grass mix improving the biodiversity of the land and furthermore it would be grazed with sheep maintaining its agricultural purpose. The developer mentioned that they were proposing to offer a sum of money for community benefit. However this has yet to be agreed with the Parish Councils involved which include Westoning, Flitton & Greenfield with the farm stretching across both Parishes and also Pulloxhill as the greatest visual impact is from that Parish. Once the Planning application has been formally submitted there will be the usual opportunity for individuals to comment and we will publicise this on the website and Parish notice-boards.

    Page 1 of 11 FLITTON AND GREENFIELD PARISH COUNCIL Minutes of the Planning Sub Committee held at the Church Hall, Flitton on Wednesday 16th August 2017 Present: Cllrs N Arthur (Chairman), M Gates, N Thompson, T King, P Woodland, R Stokes, G Ellis and M Lowe CBC Cllr James Jamieson and D Lawson (Clerk) plus residents 1. APOLOGIES AND SPECIFIC DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST Cllr J Fisher sent apologies. Cllr P Woodland declared an interest in the any discussion on Flitton Hill. Cllr Arthur welcomed residents to the meeting and agreed to start with an open session to discuss the Local Plan Consultation. OPEN DISCUSSION There was a discussion about the village hierarchy and Cllr Jamieson confirmed that Flitton, Greenfield and Wardhedges has been re-designated as a small village and a case can still be made to separate the villages into three separate settlements. The Parish Council will pursue this to try and ‘future proof’ the Parish position and the CBC hierarchy matrix has been re-calculated to show the effect of separation. This would be in line with the way that other Parishes have been treated in the matrix. In separating the settlements this also emphasises the importance of keeping the open spaces and gaps to avoid any coalescence This means that the presumption in the next draft of the Local Plan will be that none of the settlements should have any large scale development and that 10 or less dwellings would be an appropriate size. In this case generally the Local Plan is not identifying sites in smaller villages; these are being left to make up any shortfall once the largest development areas have been designated.
