If they attended school at all they would have gone to a School run by a charity or religious society, a Dame school, a Sunday school or even a workhouse school. Evidence for the education of girls before the 19th Century is scanty but the Emery’s Charity School in Meppershall was teaching girls to read in the late 17th Century (P29/25/1). -
Local Plan Reps
CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE LOCAL PLAN 2035 PRE-SUBMISSION CONSULTATION REPRESENTATIONS ON BEHALF OF MR & MRS R KNOX AND MR & MRS M RICHARDS IN RESPECT OF PROPOSED ALLOCATION HAS26 – A5 WATLING STREET HOCKLIFFE 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 J & J Design have been engaged by the representors to challenge the draft allocation HAS26 at A5 Watling Street Hockliffe for residential development. 1.2 The proposed allocation is for approximately 41 dwellings on 1.74ha of greenfield land currently designated as Green Belt, on the north-west fringe of Hockliffe. 1.3 The representations raise issues including: a. The soundness of the spatial strategy and the ongoing role of the Green Belt; b. Whether ‘exceptional circumstances’ have been demonstrated to justify alterations to Green Belt boundaries; c. Whether Hockliffe has the capacity for sustainable growth within the A5 transport corridor, and if so to what extent; d. Whether the proposed allocation site is appropriate having due regard to Green Belt, environmental and historical considerations; e. Whether there is justification for Hockliffe to be designated as a Large Village in the Settlement Hierarchy. 1.4 It is concluded that the draft allocation fails the soundness tests at paragraph 182 of the Framework, being unjustified and inconsistent with national policy. Accordingly, the proposed allocation should be deleted from the Local Plan. 1.5 Furthermore, it is concluded that there is inadequate justification for Hockliffe to be designated as a Large Village. Accordingly, Hockliffe should be re-designated as -

Directions for Growth - Development Constraints
APPENDIX B Directions for Growth - Development Constraints Summary and Conclusions Luton/Dunstable/Houghton Regis Zone 1 – Totternhoe to the A5 Zone 1 has some major constraints to development, including several County Wildlife Sites, a SSSI, the conservation area at Sewell and the ancient monument at Maiden Bower. Due regard should also be afforded to the green lanes and tracks at the west of Dunstable. Some potential for growth may be possible in the land adjacent to the north-west edge of Dunstable (adjacent to Hillcroft), which is bounded by the green lanes, tracks and dismantled railway line. Any possible development here should preserve the separation from Sewell and have regard to the constraints mentioned above. Access to the area is potentially limited, with extensions to existing residential routes being the most likely access option. Access to facilities and services should be relatively easy with the close proximity of schools, shops and transport routes in the adjacent residential area. Luton/Dunstable/Houghton Regis Zone 2 – A5 to the A5120 Bedford Road Constraints within Zone 2 are significant, with a large County Wildlife Site and SSSI forming part of the zone. Although at an early stage of consultation and the exact route to be confirmed, it is likely that the proposed A5 – M1 link road will run through the zone in an east-west orientation which may compromise growth potential. The sewage works in the western half of the zone are also a significant constraint and together with the steep topography of the area may compromise development potential. The disused pit offers the first constraint and immediately beyond this lies the sewage works some 800m from the northern edge of the built development. -

Luton & South Bedfordshire Joint Committee
Luton & South Bedfordshire Joint Committee Thursday 29 November 2007 Agenda Item No.17 AUTHOR Joint Officer Team (Mark Saccoccio, Planning Officer) SUBJECT Representation to Bedfordshire and Luton Minerals and Waste Development Framework Minerals Core Strategy and Site Allocations Plan (MWDFMCS) PURPOSE To seek clarification of this Committee to the officer comments sent in response to the above document RECOMMENDATIONS The Joint Committee is recommended to: 1. consider the report below; 2. endorse the officer recommendation as elaborated in the letter dated 31 October 2007 from Mark Saccoccio to Mr Roy Romans of Beds CC (attached). REASON FOR To ensure that the views of the Joint Committee are RECOMMENDATION taken into account in the formulation of the Preferred Options Consultation Exercise. 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 Bedfordshire County Council (BCC) and Luton Borough Council (LBC) are charged with producing a Development Plan which will set out policies to control mineral working and identify preferred locations for future quarries. The Minerals Development Framework will consist of two main documents, the Core Strategy and the Sites Allocations Plan. The Core Strategy will identify how much mineral working is needed and set out a broad strategy for the location and control of future quarry sites. The Sites Allocation Plan will identify preferred sites for future quarrying. 1.2 Consultation on the BCC and LBC Core Strategy Preferred Options document was undertaken in September and October 2007. This follows the previously undertaken “Issues and Options” consultation 17/1 stage which took place in 2006, and again (supplementary issues) in the spring of 2007. 1.3 This report discusses the parts of that consultation document that are relevant to the Luton and South Bedfordshire growth area, and recommends that the Joint Committee submits their support for the approach taken in the Core Strategy Preferred Options document.
