Land West of Ampthill

Proposed Housing Development - Land West of Ampthill

An area of 11ha (27.1 acres) at west Ampthill, off Tavistock Avenue, is allocated for residential development. 

A Planning and Development Brief has now been adopted by Mid Beds District Council and will guide future development of the site. Any future planning applications will need to accord with the principles set out in the brief. 

Note: As the Adopted Planning and Development Brief is a large document it has been split into smaller sections to make downloading easier. Sections available so far (or soon to be available) are listed below whilst others will be added in due course. You will need Adobe Reader to access these documents.
