)Wherever possible, refuse collection vehicles will only use adopted highways. If an access road is to be used, it must be to adoptable standards suitable for the refuse vehicle to manoeuvre safely around site. A vehicle tracking will need to be submitted to the Highways Team to confirm this is possible. Typically, until roads are adopted or if the RCV is unable to manoeuvre around the site, bins are to be brought to the highway boundary or a pre-arranged point. If residents are required to pull their bins to the highway, a hardstanding area needs to be provided for at least 3 wheelie bins and a recycling caddy per property. Bins must not encroach on or cause a hazard or obstruction to the public highway. Waste vehicles will reverse a maximum of 15m to the point of collection. If there are any parts of the development that are not accessible to the RCV, bin collection points will need to be provided as near to the highway as is practicable.Wherever possible, refuse collection vehicles will only use adopted highways.

)The following information applies to flats:
- Communal waste provision is allocated on the basis of 90l per week per waste stream per property; therefore, we would provide 1100 litre, 660 litre or 360 litre bins to be collected fortnightly.
- Our waste collection crew will move communal bins a maximum of 10m from the bin store to the waste collection vehicle, providing there are suitable dropped kerbs. We will require confirmation of this prior to ordering any bins for the development.
- Bin stores should be easily accessible from the main highway and it is crucial that the store is secure with a lock to prevent potential fly tipping issues.
- A lock code will need to be provided to the Central Bedfordshire Waste Services Team.
- The door used by the collection crews will need to be wide enough to allow for easy removal of bins from the storage area.
- A dropped kerb will need to be provided to enable easy manoeuvrability, access and egress of the bins.
- The crew are not expected to move the bins over any undulating, non-paved, uneven surface, or where the gradient is deemed excessive.
- Lighting within the bin store should be provided so that the bins can be used safely by residents when it is dark.
- We would require a design layout to highlight where the bin store will be located.
Please also refer to the Design Guide as the Council will not be able to supply waste collections where the bin and access requirements do not meet our contractual provision, anything else differing to this will be incorporated as a condition. http://www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/planning/design/info.aspxThe following information applies to flats:

)The existing fire hydrants in this area are on small water mains that cannot deliver the minimum flow rate of 20 litres per second that is indicated for properties over 2 storeys and properties in multiple occupation. The developer must install sprinkler / fire suppression systems in the proposed new units to compensate for a lack of adequate firefighting water.The existing fire hydrants in this area are on small water mains that cannot deliver the minimum flow rate of 20 litres per second that is indicated for properties over 2 storeys and properties in multiple occupation.

)Regulation 75 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 imposes a condition on any permission granted by the General Permitted Development Order (GDPO) that is likely to have a significant effect on a European Site (Chilterns Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation) must not commence until the developer has received written notification of the approval of the Local Planning Authority under Regulation 77.
This means that any development granted under the GPDO that will result in creation of new dwellings cannot lawfully proceed until Regulation 77 is satisfied. This includes all development that has received Prior Approval consent under the GPDO but has not been completed.
The process for this is to submit to the planning authority sufficient information for it to enable an assessment to take place. There is no statutory application form to be completed, but there is a requirement in the Regulations to pay £30 at the time of application. Central Bedfordshire Council will then inform Natural England of the application, who will be given a period to make comments, and will take these comments into account.
Following approval of the draft Chilterns Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Mitigation Strategy by the Council's Executive Committee on 7th February 2023, the final Mitigation Strategy has now been published on the Council website.
The Mitigation Strategy details a number of open spaces which the Council has successfully secured as Strategic Alternative Green Spaces (SANGs) to mitigate the impact of development in parts of southern Central Bedfordshire on the Chilterns Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation. The full Strategy document can be found on the Council website: View or download the mitigation strategy (PDF).
For development which cannot provide its own SANG, applicants who wish to make use of the Council's Mitigation Strategy to satisfy Regulation 75 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 in relation to their Prior Approval applications will need to complete a Unilateral Undertaking agreement which secures contributions to the Strategy. This will comprise of contributions to Part A (SAMM) and Part B (SANG), as well as fees to cover monitoring and legal costs.
Once contributions to the Mitigation Strategy have been agreed, we will then be able to consult Natural England and the Council's Legal Officers prior to issuing any written approval with respect to Regulation 77.Regulation 75 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 imposes a condition on any permission granted by the General Permitted Development Order (GDPO) that is likely to have a significant effect on a European Site (Chilterns Beechwoods Special Area of Conservation) must not commence until the developer has received written notification of the approval of the Local Planning Authority under Regulation 77.
