Located about 5 miles west of Bedford. A small village with historic church and in need of some expansion to make it home for more people. It is about 13 miles from Milton Keynes so is well located. The site attached needs development, was granted planning permission in outline in December 2019 for 6 dwellings to the rear of the site but site peculiarities have halted progess at present.
I make representation for a client who has no objection to the 6 houses in the backland location so long as the frontage areas remain open land as it has always been.
STAGSDEN NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN
I am born bred and educated in North Bedfordshire before 3 years at college. After school I returned to carry out my chosen path in land agency and surveying. I worked in north Beds for 40 years before retiring in 2016 and becoming a consultant to pave the way for improved locality. I have lodged a number of representations previously, in connection with the new Borough plan progress. I have missed some previous deadlines for the borough Plan and some of the subsequent neighbourhood Plans and would ask to be kept informed of Borough Planning progress albeit now residing near Huntingdon. Bedford still my “home” for the usual requirements of dentist, opticians, garages.
Soundness is my only query and with respect to planning and development proposals.
