Local Plan 2011-2031 Proposed Submission Draft

We would like to notify you about our strong objections to the Local Plan in respect to our village, Ickleford.

IC1 (Duncots Close) - 9 homes
Our concerns include:

Building on green belt land
The Local Plan is "Not Sound" because it conflicts with National Planning Policy Framework and the NHDC Strategic Objectives on Green Belt.


Sewerage and Flooding
The Local Plan is "Not Sound" as evidence shows the main sewer cannot cope with current demand and IC1 will exacerbate the problem. It also conflicts with NHDC policies not to develop in areas prone to flooding and to reduce the risk of flooding from new developments.

Traffic
The Local Plan is "Not Sound" as the NHDC modelling is flawed as it does not take into consideration increased traffic from Bedfordshire and conflicts with NHDC policy on transport.

Air Quality
The Local Plan is "Not Sound" as the introduction of increased traffic pollution conflicts with NHDC policy on air quality.

Lack of Coordination with neighbouring authorities
The Local Plan is "Not Sound" as the NHDC have not taken into account the impact associated with the Central Bedfordshire Local Plan.

IC2 (Burford Grange) - 40 homes
