Bedford Borough, Central Bedfordshire, and Luton, Minerals and Waste Development Framework
The Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act (2004) was granted Royal Assent in May 2004. The Act has resulted in major changes in the planning system. Structure Plans and Local Plans will eventually be abolished and local plans will be replaced by Local Development Frameworks (LDF). Bedford Borough Council, Central Bedfordshire Council and Luton Borough Council will retain responsibility for the Minerals and Waste Planning in their area and will therefore be reviewing their policies and producing a Minerals and Waste Development Framework in line with the Act.
The Minerals and Waste Development Framework will cover the administrative areas of Bedford Borough Council, Central Bedfordshire Council and Luton Borough Council. It will set out the three Council's policies for mineral extraction and waste management in the Council, including identification of potential sites.
We want to hear from anyone with an interest in the preparation of the Minerals and Waste Development Framework or wishing to be kept informed of its progress. Call us on 0300 300 6219
