Outline Planning Submitted for Residential Scheme in Central Bedfordshire

Outline Planning Submitted for Residential Scheme in Central Bedfordshire

We are pleased to confirm that an outline planning application has been submitted for a new residential development in Central Bedfordshire. Working in collaboration with Optimis Consulting and a private landowner, we have developed proposals for the creation of 141 high-quality family homes, including associated highway, attenuation measures, high-quality landscape design, large open spaces with countryside walks and play areas, and BNG measures.

Key Features of the Scheme
• 141 new-build, high-quality dwellings
• 45% affordable housing provision, 5% adaptable housing and 10% self-build plots
• Creation of children’s play spaces
• Retention of site features and increased biodiversity net gain across the site with attenuation measures and features
• High-quality landscape throughout the development with large open space provision and countryside walks
• A fully sustainable scheme with measures to reduce energy consumption.

The scheme will create a positive addition to the area, bringing much-needed high-quality housing, much-needed affordable housing, countryside walks and children’s play spaces for the new development and existing local residents.
