We are at Stondon Community Centre Open Day if you would like to drop by and speak to one of our committee members

28/06/2025

Ways to OBJECT to this NEW application for the Golf Course in Lower Stondon Bedfordshire by Bloor. They plan to close it and build 400 houses on it.
Reasons we suggest are.
The golf course is a valued sporting amenity and community asset for local residents and for those from the neighbouring villages.

The local roads and infrastructure can not cope with 400 more houses and the cars they would bring.

This development site is NOT in the CBC Local Plan.

1. Complete a paper objection from the Post Office and drop it into the SOV Drop Boxes around the village.

2. Use this link to directly go to the CBC planning portal.

5. Write an old fashioned letter and address it to the principal planning officer Thomas Mead, clearly stating

Three initial reasons to OBJECT to the proposed development of Mt Pleasant Golf Course, Outline application
CB/25/00292/OUT through the link below....

https://shorturl.at/u6UAb

1.Its not in the CBCs current adopted Local Plan.
Central Beds Council (CBC) is developing a new Local Plan and have just completed the ‘Call for Sites’ phase. These sites will now be formally assessed before any further decisions are made. We believe the CBC therefore have only one option and that is to reject this application, as it cannot make a decision on this one site in isolation, without risking undermining the process of Planning and Plan Making.

2.The golf course is a valued and viable sporting amenity, used by many local residents of Stondon and the residents of neighbouring villages. It also provides local employment.

3.Traffic will be severely impacted on our local roads particularly along Station Rd and at the Bird in Hand roundabout if the proposed 2 form entry school is built there.These roads will become increasingly dangerous for pedestrians too, as many pavements are narrow.(Station Road could see potentially 500+ more car movements along it each day.)

There are other objections you could add ...pls join Save our Village Lower Stondon On FB for more guidance.

Bloor have submitted a planning application for a community hub and green space but it's not all that it first seems.

To have a look at the application click on the link below.

https://plantech.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/PLANTECH/DCWebPages/AcolNetCGI.gov

Enter
CB/25/00292/OUT Into the search box.

CBC has received an outline planning application for the red outline (below)
It does include a community hub, new school (nothing confirmed of course) or green space and some allotments.

However the issue here is the blue outlined area, as we believe it will be their next application and will be for 400+ houses.

Are they just trying to sweeten us the residents up, to be let down by massive housing numbers in their next application? .
One will NOT come without the other...they are called Bloor homes after all !

Stondon has seen too many new houses..enough is enough!

We need to all object to this application and the inevitable linked houses that will follow. Splitting the application does not change Bloors eventual aim and the overall effects on our village of developing the golf course and its loss.

The village will lose a viable valued and well used sporting amenity and in return it will get large numbers of houses. There will be busier local roads, more traffic jams, road closures, increased pollution and added pressure on already stretched local amenities.

Please make your voice heard and object by March 7th 2025.
