Residents in Central Bedfordshire are being asked for their comments on a Draft Submission version of the Gypsy and Traveller Development Plan Document by 5pm on Wednesday 2nd February.
The document sets out Central Bedfordshire Council’s chosen sites for Gypsy and Traveller accommodation (23 pitches plus 4 pitches for Travelling Showpeople) for the former Mid Bedfordshire area. It also contains policies against which the determination of future planning applications for Gypsy and Traveller related proposals will be made.
The sites selected are:
eight pitches at Old Acres, Barton Road, Pulloxhill;
two pitches on land off Westoning Road, Greenfield;
ten pitches on land at the rear of Hitchin Road, Arlesey;
three pitches at Oak Tree Nursery & Magpie Farm, Upper Caldecote; and
four pitches to be placed at Kennel Farm in Biggleswade for Travelling Showpeople.
A permanent Gypsy and Traveller pitch is the space required to accommodate one household and their caravans, parking space and enough room for the turning of vehicles.
Documents which include maps of the locations and the accompanying Sustainability Appraisal are available to view and download at www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/GTLDFNorth and residents are urged to make comments online. Once registered as a user, residents will be able to comment online on all of the future LDF documents.
If you wish to make comments by email or in writing, you can download a comments form from the CBC website. Paper copies of the document and comment forms will also be available at the council offices in Dunstable and Chicksands, customer service centres and libraries around Central Bedfordshire.
All comments received will be passed on to an Independent Planning Inspector who will assess the documents in a public examination. Only those residents who make objections at this stage will be able to participate in the examination.
For further information you can contact the LDF North Team on 0300 300 8000 or email ldf@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk.
