PAVENHAM NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN
I am born bred and educated at Sharnbrook and Bedford before 3 years at college. I worked in north Beds for 40 years before retiring in 2016 and becoming a consultant to pave the way for improved planning in Sharnbrook and neighbouring villages. I have lodged a number of reps previously, particularly on the borough plan progress. I have missed previous deadlines for the borough Plan and some of the subsequent neighbourhood Plans and I would ask to be kept informed on my former homeland and my retired home is near Huntingdon but I am in Bedford a lot because it is still my “home” with dentist, opticians, garages, Waitrose and many other facilities.
Pavenham was my first place of working after leaving college where I joined Beazley and Sons, Land Agents until I retired in 2016. A lovely unspoilt village with river, superb golf course and club sportsfield and community hall and superb country walks. What it does lack is a cogent community presence to keep it viable and more suited to younger people. The Bury Farm site will help things but another couple of smaller sites would help the village status.
Soundness is my only query and with respect to planning and development proposals.
