Local Plan
This area has been allocated for development in the draft Local Plan for Central Bedfordshire.
The Local Plan sets out how Central Bedfordshire will develop over the next 20 years. It outlines the strategy for ensuring the growth we need is delivered in the right place and is of the right character and quality. It also seeks to ensure that growth is delivered with supporting roads, schools, and services such as health, as well as retail, leisure and community facilities.
You can read more about the requirements for the Marston Vale new villages as set out in our Local Plan (Policy SA2 of the Plan).
The outline planning application has been submitted by O&H and will be determined under a separate legislative process to the Local Plan.
