Planning Matters: Town Council to Object to 2 Housing Developments in Bedford Rd - New Take-Away for Tithe Farm
Representatives from Hunter Page Planning attended the meeting to talk about their proposed development for up to 62 homes in a meadow behind the old Red Lion public house in Bedford Road, Houghton Regis. Councillors quizzed the representatives on predicted impact on local highways, the potential for land flooding, and the need for this land to be developed at all, when the overall redevelopment plans for the area had designated Bidwell as a quiet hamlet entrance to the town. A recorded vote was taken and members of the committee unanimously voted against the scheme.

In considering the application from Taylor Wimpey for up to 169 new homes east of Bedford Rd, west of Churchfield Rd, opposite the old Red Lion public house, councillors resolved to uphold their earlier objections, that it was not in accordance with the Houghton Regis Strategic Urban Extension Plan. would conflict with the Framework plan, and emphasising their concern over highways movements, and the small size of the proposed roundabout.
