ANOTHER PLANNING APPLICATION FOR 412 HOUSES FOR BIGGLESWADE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBC has yet another application for up to 412 homes to the\nnorth of Biggleswade going through its planning process. Although seemingly \u2018greener\u2019\nthan most, with the provision of allotments next to the railway line, there has\nbeen no consideration for infrastructure – \ndoctors, dentists, schools, roads and parking that are already groaning\nunder the weight of existing demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The applicants openly admit this proposal would sit on prime\narable farming land, part of the beautiful countryside which we are rapidly\nlosing from all around us. This application has been prepared in light of the\nCentral Beds local plan \u2013 which has yet to be approved! It almost seems that the\nlocal plan is being adopted piecemeal, ahead of any formal scrutiny. There is\nalso talk of the fantastic rail links in Biggleswade, but no mention of how the\ntown will support increased numbers of people wanting to park at the station\nwhich is already at capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have heard nothing about this application from existing councillors\nand this is where we need support at council, someone speaking for Biggleswade\nand objecting to development that gives no though to supporting infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The link to view the application is here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given there is an election on 2nd May, the following details are\nknown as an election ‘imprint’ and are added to ensure people realise I am a\ncandidate and all is transparent:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
