Could you be our new Branch Manager?
The Bedfordshire Branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE Bedfordshire) is looking for a dynamic, capable and enthusiastic person to run our local environmental charity, raising its profile, supporting its team of dedicated volunteers and promoting its campaigns and activities.
CPRE Bedfordshire have written to Bedford Borough Council objecting to the application to build 160 houses west of Gold Lane in Biddenham.
The letter can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.
The Biddenham Action Group have set up a system for those who wish to object to the application here. There is a link to the Bedford Borough Council Planning Department website from where the plans and supporting documentation can be accessed.
The deadline for objections is January 9th 2019
