The Great Barford Neighbourhood Development Plan, which will cover the whole of Great Barford Parish, is being prepared in the context of the emerging Bedford Borough Local Plan, which was submitted for Examination at the end of 2018. It is the intention of Great Barford Parish Council to allocate sites for development in the Neighbourhood Development Plan. The Local Plan states a housing requirement of 500 homes for Great Barford over the Local Plan period, but delegates the decision on the location of these homes to the Great Barford Neighbourhood Development Plan. Bedford Borough Council, through the work being undertaken to prepare the emerging Local Plan, has undertaken a comprehensive site appraisal of all sites that came forwards as a result of previous “calls for sites” consultation. This work identified 15 suitable, available and achievable sites for development. Great Barford Parish Council has asked AECOM to take this work further by refining the Bedford Borough Council assessment to identify the best options for meeting the housing requirement in line with a set of local criteria to create a shortlist of options that would meet the Neighbourhood Development Plan objectives. This report, therefore, revisits the Bedford Borough Council assessments, including the Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment and Site Assessments and Potential Options for Allocation (2017)1, and looks again at all the sites that have been assessed as suitable, available and achievable. This report also assesses these sites against specific criteria that are important to Great Barford Parish Council, in order to narrow down the best options for meeting the housing need and the Neighbourhood Development Plan criteria and objectives. Site selection and allocation is one of the most contentious aspects of planning, raising strong feelings amongst local people, landowners, developers and businesses. It is important that any selection process carried out is transparent, fair, robust and defensible and that the same criteria and process is applied to each potential site. Equally important is the way in which the work is recorded and communicated to interested parties so the approach is transparent and defensible. It is clear from the work that Bedford Borough Council have done, and from this assessment, that no group of sites are free from constraints. However, of the individual sites, three are considered to best meet the Neighbourhood Development Plan’s objectives and a further 12 sites which potentially meet the Neighbourhood Development Plan’s objectives, but are more constrained. The report presents a number of options for consideration

    9. APPENDIX B Minerals Site Allocations Plan – Report of Preferred Options Consultation – Appendix B 1.1 This report sets out the preferred options identified in the Bedfordshire and Luton Minerals Site Allocations plan alongside a summary of the consultation responses. It also contains initial officer recommendations in relation to the issues raised 1.2 A complete set of responses to the Minerals Site Allocations Plan is available on request 2. General 2.1 Go-East considers that Preferred Option Report has been produced in a comprehensive and systematic fashion. It notes that a sustainability appraisal has been carried out and is pleased to see a commentary on how this has influenced the development of the preferred options throughout the document, including the testing of potential sites and the justification for site selection. 2.2 It considers that layout, form, content and use of maps in the document are satisfactory. It does, however, suggest that a useful piece of evidence to underpin the submitted document would be a review of sites not worked for ten years or more to establish the likelihood of production being revived. 2.3 It also suggests that the overall need for minerals that is set out in the Site Allocations DPD is a strategic matter which should be addressed in the Core Strategy. 2.4 It must also be highlighted that operators and landowners whose sites were within the Issues and Options papers and have not been included within the Preferred Options have objected to their non inclusion. 3. Chapter 4 Aggregate Minerals – Overall Need Question 1 Do you agree that the identified need is correct? Please give reasons with your answer.

  • 1. Coronavirus in Bedford Borough As of 1
    Wilshamstead Parish Council Wixams Parish Council Bedford Borough Councillor Report: 1. Coronavirus in Bedford Borough As of 11th November there have been 2673 cases of Coronavirus in Bedford Borough with 43,033 individual tests. This is a positive test rate of 6.2%. In the preceding 7 days there had been 211 new cases of Coronavirus in the Borough. During the last month, there was a spike in case in Wilshamstead ward, with 12 cases for the week ending 28th Oct and 20 cases during the week ending 4th Nov after having been below 3 cases the week before that. In the weekly Borough produced figures, only wards with 3 or more cases are shown, as it is believed that if you show the number of cases when it's lower than 3, the individuals might somehow be identified - I'm not convinced of the logic on this, but that's what the Mayor tells me at his weekly briefings. I phoned the Mayor when the Wilshamstead numbers went to the top of the Borough list and he then arranged for the Borough Chief Officer for Public Health to contact me to give it some context. Whilst the conversation was in confidence and I am unfortunately unable to disclose specifics, I can tell you that I am confident and satisfied that the appropriate authorities and agencies are dealing with the Wilshamstead ward cases and there has been a drop to 9 cases in Wilshamstead ward for the week ending 11th Nov. I am sorry that I cannot be more specific than that, but I hope you understand the reasons why.
