Always sounds a bit rum 'stakeholder'. Maybe the committee member designated to deal with Dracula perhaps? But its just the means by which Central Beds Council, developer Persimmon and local representatives deal with issues around the Home Farm development.
Last night's stakeholder shed no light on the key issue - if Persimmon do not strike a deal with Denison who own a key tranche of land the developer cannot deliver a section 138 provision (footpath access to Court road) and therefore no house can be occupied. If that does happen, CBC will have to move against it through an enforcement notice. As Sir Alex Ferguson would say in his pithy made-in-Govan way, squeaky bum time.
No huge enlightenment on how Lodge Road has been rerouted into the development. One suggestion is that the remaining part would become Lodge Lane? One parishioner present objected vocally. Persimmon are denying responsibility for name choosing while Hannah Pattinson, planning officer is pursuing.
CBC Councillor Sue Clark pressed Martin Wright (Persimmon) on whether the wheel washing was actually taking place although her CBC colleague Alan Bastable felt Lodge Road had looked better recently. I haven't cycled it since last week due to weather and other commitments.
School land is unresolved but I did get a confirmation that under the local development framework (which allocates 135 houses to central motors and 22 to the university 'derelict houses' site at Lodge Road) there is an additional plot of land allocated for a lower school near Central Motors. This will not have houses if a school is not constructed there.
If the school playing field on Home Farm is not used for educational purposes it could, however, be built on.
