Lidlington Action Group (LAG) has sent a letter to councillors at Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC).
The aim is to generate internal pressure on those submitting CBC’s response to the Inspector’s report at the end of April.
At the Local Plan examination last summer, the Planning Inspectors identified issues with the soundness of the Local Plan. They asked the CBC to look again at ‘reasonable alternatives’ to building 5,000 houses in Marston Vale.
CBC intends to publish their response on 30 April 2020 ahead of the re-convened examination in June.

by John Guinn | Oct 15, 2019 | Central Bedfordshire Council, Marston Valley | 0
Following a public examination of Central Bedfordshire Council’s (CBC) draft Local Plan this summer, The Planning Inspectorate has provided formal feedback to the council.
CBC received the feedback on 30th September 2019, but delayed publication until 14 October 2019 while it sought to resolve a number of legal issues regarding the content and process being followed.
The Council said that correspondence from third parties referred to by the Inspectors had unusually not been sent to CBC as the Local Planning Authority and the promoter of the Local Plan.
The focused letter raises a limited number of issues for the Council to respond to. In particular clarifying the content of some of the policies for strategic sites and issues around the current Sustainability Appraisal (SA).
The Council’s website says that no issues were raised in relation to a number of key points.

The Lidlington Action Group (LAG) was represented at Central Bedfordshire Council’s January meeting (17 January 2019).
LAG is opposed to the 5,000 new homes that the Marston Valley development would bring to the village. The group isn’t calling for the whole scheme to be scrapped, only to be reduced in size.
It proposes that a smaller development of 1,800 houses would protect the identity of existing villages and be more sustainable.

by John Guinn | Dec 3, 2018 | Marston Valley | 0
The government is consulting on mandating biodiversity net gain in development to ensure habitats are protected and enhanced for the future.
Developers could be required to deliver a ‘biodiversity net gain’ when building new housing or commercial development. Meaning habitats for wildlife must be enhanced and left in a measurably better state than they were pre-development.
The proposed new rules require developers to assess the type of habitat and its condition before submitting plans.
