Stewartby and Kempston Hardwick Parish Council (SKHPC) have studied and reviewed the Local Plan 2040 as a whole document and more specifically the areas within their Parish. SKHPC objects to Policy HOU 14 Kempston Hardwick new settlement on the grounds of: Current and planned development; Highways; Healthcare; Policing; Gypsy & Traveller Sites; and Residents feedback – not being made aware of how the proposals would affect local communities. The petition is submitted on behalf of the residents objecting to Local Plan 2040 and the developments that are proposed for Stewartby and Kempston Hardwick. The Local Plan 2040 is considered a comprehensive document on paper but has a series of presumptions and unqualified plans that must be addressed before approval is given.
It should be noted that SKHPC are aware that new housing building quotas are set by central government for local authorities to achieve.
