The Council requested details of potential development sites to be submitted through two separate 'call for sites' exercises (January 2014 and October 2015). Further sites were submitted as part of the 2017 consultation. In total approximately 660 sites have been submitted.
The list of submitted sites includes four large-scale proposals for new settlements which are Lee Farm near Sharnbrook (site 622), Thurleigh Airfield (site 630), Land at Twinwoods (site 608 listed under Milton Ernest) and Wyboston Garden Village (site 659).
If you submitted a site to us during the consultation period, please check that it is listed below. If it is missing from the list, please contact the Planning Policy team.
The location of sites submitted can be viewed on the following maps. Sites number 400 onwards are the sites we received in 2015 and sites number 700 onwards are those received in 2017:
- Information is available to view at a borough-wide scale
- Individual parish maps are available to view
- Once you have found the site number, view this table to see which parish list holds the details
The 2017 Consultation Paper included preferred sites for the urban area and alternative site selection options for the Group 1 villages of Bromham, Clapham, Great Barford, Sharnbrook and Wilstead. Site promoters involved with each of the options were asked to provide evidence that they can work together.
