Fairfield Parish Council

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.
