Local Plan

The Public Inquiry on the Central Bedfordshire Council(CBC)  Local Plan is now underway and the two appointed Government Inspectors have raised many questions on it. This is so that the various parties involved can make their representations in writing, thus saving time at the inquiry itself.

The Local Plan sets out how Central Beds will develop over the next 20 years with their strategy for growth considering location, character and quality as well as infrastructure i.e. roads, schools, retail, leisure etc.  The plan was submitted to government on 30 April 2018 unaltered from the draft and did not take into account any of the representations made by town and parish councils, pressure groups and individuals. It is now subject to an independent examination by two Inspectors. It concludes in late July.

Fairfield Parish Council gave a robust response to the plan at the time in a report compiled jointly by our appointed experts, CSA Environmental and solicitors Blandy and Blandy. There were also two public meetings at which those present endorsed the FPC approach.

FPC Responses to Questions raised by Inspector

FPC will be represented by CSA Environmental and Solicitors Blandy and Blandy  at the inquiry on the two days when the two issues we are concerned about will come under the inquiry’s microscope.   Our Consultants have also prepared and submitted robust answers to the questions raised by the Inspectors.   The questions and our […]

Fitness for All

Currently we are looking into options for either an outdoor gym or trim trail (or both) for the many joggers, keen runners and keep fit merchants that regularly pound our streets and boundaries.

Nature Trail for the Orchards

Three years of hard graft by experts and volunteers has seen our treasured Orchards go from an overgrown and unkempt wilderness to well managed sites that are getting admiration from experts in the field One of the main aims in the restoration was to make them educational, not just for children but for adults as […]
