Central Bedfordshire granted permission on 15 November 2024, subject to any conditions on the decision notice. Work must normally begin within three years or the permission lapses. More in our guide to what happens after a planning decision.

A reserved matters application fills in the detail held back from an earlier outline permission, judged against that permission rather than the principle of development. More in our guide to planning application types.
