Land at the corner of The Rye and Totternhoe Rd

I have heard that the new owners of Old Ley Farm are planning on putting in for planning permission on the above land and other land that is attached to the house, What are your views in this? In my opinion it is way to dangerous to have any access of the rye or totternhoe rd to accomadate any building planning permission. Also we have lost to much green bely land in the village already to houses.

Thought there was a 99 year uplift agreement with the council on this land (Council take a percentage of profit on future development).

I wouldn't be happy to see any houses there and I can see problems for the Rye.

There is an archaeological survey going on at Ley Farm as I post.

Plan shows a car park at the bottom of my garden.
Taking the p really as there is nowhere to park out the front.

I don't know  what you are worried about.  According to the Planning Statement there will be 'minimal impact on the wider landscape, including the openness of the Green Belt'.  So 150 houses and two new roads will hardly be noticed!  Also I never realised that the A41 runs through the centre of the village!
(Planning Statement).

Bernie, maybe you could some maths along the same lines as your calculation for the number of school children but for sewage effluent to give it a polite name. As the sewers don't cope now, what chance with an extra 150 houses?

Roy
Not knowing the habits of others as I do my own it would not be possible to calculate even with my math skills.
More interested at the moment with the sewage effluent being created by Amberville Propertys.

Amusing myself studying the proposed layout..... There are 5 private entrances onto Totternhoe Rd and The Rye between the two main access roads. Are they serious? On that corner!

Lies Lies and more Lies

The parish council have drafted a template objection letter, i have shared it on google drive and i think everyone should be able to access it at the link below, all you need to do is fill in the red sections with your details, print, sign and post.

Template Objection Letter

We applied to build a house up dyers lane but were turned down because it was a dangerous corner. But it will be ok for the minimum of 150 cars to come out on the other side won!t it ?.

Email reply from Andrew Selous stating that he is absolutely against buildind 150 houses in Eaton Bray and has written to CBC to pass on his views.

If anybody is around the village on Saturday it may be worth taking a camera.
As its Christmas black bins are being collected on Saturday instead of Monday.
Send all photos to CBC. Could help with stopping development with a traffic jam or two.

Thanks for the letter Mark. Link worked and letter has been completed, signed and will be ready for sending.

Sent my letter off yesterday I hope everyone does the same or else we. Can say goodbye to eaton bray the village .

Lets not worry. Enjoy Christmas and Happy New Year x????

Dont know if the planning sign is up yet but have been informed by CBC Planning Office that the notification was in the LUTON NEWS just before Christmas.

Not too many of them floating about the village.

Still no signs up as off yet.

Is there a petition being circulated?

Just seen a larger version of the map and can see at least 3 driveways leading into Totternhoe Rd as well as a new access road.

My objection letter was sent off Monday morning.
We moved to Eaton Bray because it's a small lovely village... The thought of them doing mass developments around here is very concerning.
