Policy BG/GI: Green and blue infrastructure
Representation ID: 201381
Received: 15/01/2026
Respondent: Gamlingay Parish Council
Gamlingay parish council support this policy.
Request revision to the boundary of Western Gateway multifunctional GI corridors to cover the whole of the Gamlingay parish; to make it easier to administer and apply to all Gamlingay planning applications, and will enable better joined up local wildlife corridor initiatives with neighbouring local authority areas.
Another reason to apply this designation to the west of the parish is the proximity to the proposed Large Infrastructure project Tempsford new town and EWRAIL new station planned in Central Bedfordshire parishes. The area is also identified on the map as expanding into Huntingdonshire.
Gamlingay parish council support this policy. Formal request to revise the boundary of the Western Gateway multifunctional GI corridors (8 on the map) to include the whole of the parish in this strategic initiative. Not only will it make it easier to administer for the planners and developers, to apply this designation for all Gamlingay planning applications, it will also enable better joined up local wildlife corridor initiatives with neighbouring local authority areas. Another reason to enlarge and apply this designation to the west of the parish is the proximity of this area to the proposed Large Infrastructure project Tempsford new town and EWRAIL new station planned in the neighbouring Central Bedfordshire parishes. The area is also identified on the map as expanding beyond the local authority area into Huntingdonshire on the current plan.

Policy BG/EO: Providing and enhancing open spaces
Representation ID: 201385
Received: 15/01/2026
Respondent: Gamlingay Parish Council
Support this policy. However the question of how this applies to 'large' commercial development which is proposed in the rural centres and minor rural centres that retain employment functions (for example in rural industrial estates). Development in these areas may not deliver 100 +employees but would request that a scaling should be applied to larger rural applications which are less than 100 employees (perhaps 50 employees +) in these rural centres and minor rural centres to help enhance open spaces in these parishes.
