Land South-East of Vandyke Road, Leighton Buzzard

Below, you can find our framework masterplan for the Land South-East of Vandyke Road, outlining our vision for new homes and a play area on the site.

We are proposing approximately 50 new homes on the site (of which up to 30% would be affordable), as well as public open space – including a children’s play area. Our proposals will also include extensive landscaping including new attenuation basins, the retention of the woodland, and new pedestrian and cycle routes.

We are currently intending to submit an outline application, which will seek to gain permission for the principle of development on the site. Finer details, such as exact layouts and specific house design will be the subject of a later “reserved matters” application.

As part of obtaining planning permission for the new homes, we will also enter into a Section 106 agreement with Central Bedfordshire Council – which will provide funds for the council to invest into the area.

A simple T junction will provide access into the site from Vandyke Road for all vehicles, as well as pedestrians and cyclists. The Vandyke Road bus stop is within easy walking distance of the site, and provides regular services into Briggington and Leighton Buzzard Town Centre.

We are also proposing a potential pedestrian and cycle route through the north-east to the south-west of our site, promoting active travel and providing new and existing residents with easy access to neighbouring homes and facilities. We will work with Central Bedfordshire Council and neighbouring land owners to secure this.
