Have your say: Company appeals councils' refusal of 65-bed care home in Kempston Hardwick
Looks like Country Court Care Homes 5 Limited has not given up on its dream to build a new facility in the area.
Back in July, plans for a 65-bed care home in Kempston Hardwick were thrown out by councillors over concerns about insufficient parking and traffic – despite planning officers recommending otherwise.
The development would be at land adjacent to Sheffield House, south-west of Ampthill Road (B530), Houghton Conquest.
And it sparked debate during last year’s Wixams Joint Development Control Committee meeting with councillors from both Bedford Borough Council and Central Bedfordshire Council unconvinced.
But Country Court Care Homes 5 Limited is now appealing to the Secretary of State against the refusal.
And, if are a nearby landowner or tenant, you have a chance to have your say.
You can write to The Planning Inspectorate, Temple Quay House, 2 The Square, Bristol BS1 6PN by March 19.
You should make it clear you are an owner of the appeal site or tenant of an agricultural holding on the site and you give the site address.
