216 MID BEDS DISTRICT COUNCIL

The Chairman summarised a letter from Mid Beds District Council, which stated that due to a number of fundamental concerns the District Council were not in a position to support the Government’s Eco-towns concept or the possible choice of Marston Vale as a potential Eco-town location until more details were known 

217 LOCAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

Cllr Hugh Harper gave an update on the forthcoming consultation on the Issues and Options stage of the Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD). He reported that there had been a consultation at Stotfold last week for the proposals in Arlesey. When he attended the exhibition no residents from Arlesey had attended.

Cllr Harper said that he would shortly be meeting with Mid Beds District Council to arrange another consultation in Arlesey. The architects were drawing up more detailed drawings, which should be ready by the end of next week. As the consultation period ended in October members felt that a public meeting for the residents of Arlesey should be held in mid September
