To adopt the Cranfield University Masterplan as a technical guidance document for the determination of planning applications for Cranfield University.

Additional documents:

Decision:

That the Cranfield University Masterplan be adopted as technical guidance for Development Management purposes.

Minutes:

 

The Executive considered a report from the Executive Member for Regeneration that set out the proposed Cranfield University Masterplan.  The Masterplan covered the area of Cranfield University that included the academic campus, Technology Park and the residential and recreational core areas.   

 

In response to questions, the Executive Member for Regeneration explained that the Masterplan had been developed over the last 2 years.  A separate Masterplan was being developed for Cranfield Airport.  Discussions with neighbouring authorities were taking place as part on the development of the draft Local Plan that would be published on 3 January 2018 as part of Regulation 19, for consideration by the Executive on 9 January.  The route for the East West Railway through Central Bedfordshire had not been decided.  He endorsed the concerns that since the doctors surgery on the campus had been closed, there had been a greater impact on the Cranfield Village doctors surgery and invited the University to take this into account.

 

Reason for decision:  To enable the Council to adopt the Masterplan as technical guidance for the purposes of development management.

 

RESOLVED

 

that the Cranfield University Masterplan be adopted as technical guidance for Development Management purposes.
