Issues and Options

The Biddenham Society recommends the enforced provision of external car-charging electrical points in all new houses.

The development of 249 house at Gold Lane, Biddenham breaches Policy 19 that seeks to maintain the green space between Biddenham and Bromham. Retention, expansion (to including the space between Biddenham and Great Denham) and enforcement of this Policy is necessary to avoid further encroachment into this space.

Policies will need to be agreed in the early stages of developing this plan and the Society hopes it will continue to be consulted on these. Specifically, retention and vigorous enforcement of Policy 19 is necessary to avoid further encroachment of the green space between Biddenham and Bromham. It should be expanded to include maintenance of the green space between Biddenham and Great Denham, ie to protect the current Great Denham Golf course from being developed. Re: the recent change to freeing up the planning process, the Biddenham Society strongly urges the authority to classify the remaining undeveloped land west of Gold Lane, plus the Gt Denham Golf Course, as protected areas under the proposed new legislation.
