)The applicants attention is drawn to their responsibility under The Equality Act 2010 and with particular regard to access arrangements for the disabled.
The Equality Act 2010 requires that service providers must think ahead and make reasonable adjustments to address barriers that impede disabled people.
These requirements are as follows:
Where a provision, criterion or practice puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to take reasonable steps to avoid that disadvantage;
Where a physical feature puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to avoid that disadvantage or adopt a reasonable alternative method of providing the service or exercising the function;
Where not providing an auxiliary aid puts disabled people at a substantial disadvantage to provide that auxiliary aid.
In doing this, it is a good idea to consider the range of disabilities that your actual or potential service users might have. You should not wait until a disabled person experiences difficulties using a service, as this may make it too late to make the necessary adjustment.

)In order to discharge condition 2 of this permission the following details need to be considered and addressed.
1. Stopping up, diverting or culverting of existing watercourses will not be permitted. A watercourse is any depression that conveys water even if only occasionally.
2. Any watercourses within or adjacent to the site should be included in the maintenance and management plan, even if there is no discharge to them. This would be a riparian ownership issue but leaving it as such is no longer acceptable.
3. Under Central Bedfordshire Council and IDB bylaws, any watercourse within or adjoining the site boundary will maintain a 9m development free easement (on the development side), unless otherwise agreed with the relevant drainage authority. This applies to all watercourses, where water is present for all or some of the year, including those not clearly stated on mapping, topography or planning documents.
4. The connection of private surface water drainage systems to a highway system is not permitted.
5. Permeable block paving should be laid to CIRIA C768 'Guidance on the construction of SuDS' guidelines. This guidance also stipulates following Interlay guidance.
6. The Council does not, and is not required to, adopt any SuDS feature. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that the surface water drainage system, in its entirety, will be effectively maintained in the long-term. We therefore expect confirmation of the proposed arrangements for maintenance to be provided with the final detailed design, including the future maintenance and operational needs and the responsible bodies for undertaking maintenance (for all public and private drainage components).
7. The final detailed design including proposed standards of operation, construction, structural integrity and ongoing maintenance must be compliant with the 'Non-statutory technical standards for sustainable drainage systems' (March 2015, Ref: PB14308), 'Central Bedfordshire Sustainable Drainage Guidance' (Adopted April 2014, Updated May 2015), and recognised best practise including the Ciria SuDS Manual (2016, C753).
8. Land drainage Consent under the Land Drainage Act 1991 must be secured to discharge surface water or carry out works on bank or bed to/of an existing watercourse/ditch, any works will require details of this provided with the full detailed design. An easement should be provided on the developable side of the watercourse to allow for access for maintenance, this should be 9m but may depend on the maintenance requirements considered appropriate.In order to discharge condition 2 of this permission the following details need to be considered and addressed.

)Members of planning committee would like to express their disapointment and frustration with the lack of walking and cycle links through Clipstone Park into Leighton Buzzard town centre to provide and promote sustainable methods of travel. The implementation of both cycle and walking routes would be strongly supported to ensure that sustainable travel links across Leighton Buzzard are in place to serve the leisure centre.Members of planning committee would like to express their disapointment and frustration with the lack of walking and cycle links through Clipstone Park into Leighton Buzzard town centre to provide and promote sustainable methods of travel.
