Latest: Maulden Green Infrastructure Survey
Having carried out two local consultation events, Greensand Trust are now working to analyse the results and produce the final survey. The survey will be made available as soon as it is made published.
The first consultation event held in January was attended by 150 people. 212 responses were received to the green infrastructure questionnaire. The second consultation event held on 5th March was attended by 30 people and 74 responses to the environment projects questionnaire was received. A huge thank you to everyone that attended and completed a survey and to Greensand Trust for their continued hard work.
Maulden Neighbourhood Plan
Maulden is now a Designated Neighbourhood Area.
A group of volunteers has offered to help Maulden Parish Council to create a Neighbourhood Plan.
Neighbourhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development and growth of their local area. They are able to choose where they want new homes, shops and offices to be built, have their say on what those new buildings should look like and what infrastructure should be provided, and grant planning permission for the new buildings they want to see go ahead. Neighbourhood planning provides a powerful set of tools for local people to ensure that they get the right types of development for their community where the ambition of the neighbourhood is aligned with the strategic needs and priorities of the wider local area.

Purpose of the Committee
Definition and Purpose of the Steering Group:
The purpose of the Maulden Neighbourhood Plan (MNP) Steering Group is to create or to assist the Parish Council to create a Neighbourhood Plan (and possibly an interim Community Plan) for the village of Maulden, within its parish boundary as defined by Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC), for the benefit of the parish as a whole.
The Group will consult, assist and report to Maulden Parish Council (MPC). [nb. Only the Parish Council has the statutory authority to adopt a Neighbourhood Plan in a parish area.]
Such plan to be suitable for adoption by referendum (based on a majority of those voting) and to comply with all of the requirements of the relevant elements of the Town & Country Planning Act and Localism Act as apply.
The committee will undertake a program of work, consultation, surveys, and studies to provide independent and statistically valid evidence as well as a range of non-quantitative studies and discussion group reports upon which a Neighbourhood Plan can be created.
Fundamentally, the committee exists to listen to the people who live and work in Maulden and find ways to express their needs, desires and vision for Maulden in 2035.
