At Full Council meeting on 22 July, the Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) Local Plan 2015-2035 was formally Adopted. This follows the receipt of the Inspectors’ Report which concluded the CBC Local Plan was sound, subject to recommended Modifications.
The Local Plan Adoption formally Allocates CBC’s Local Plan Policy SA3, promoted by Axiom, for 2,000 new homes, a relief road and country park over a total of 500 acres on Land East of Arlesey.
Axiom’s promotion of the site began in 2015 and has been a true team effort; with Axiom working closely and collaboratively with our Landowners Partners and Central Bedfordshire Assets, the CBC Local Plan Team and a bespoke team of specialist Planning and Technical Consultants to bring Axiom’s Vision for the Land East of Arlesey through the Public Consultation and Examination in Public processes to Reality.
We are delighted to enter this next ‘Post Allocation’ phase of the project which will focus on the creation of a Development Brief and Design Framework for this exciting new sustainable extension east of Arlesey, and soon thereafter to commence Community Engagement to inform the evolving Masterplan for the Land East of Arlesey.
