Neighbourhood Plan 2016 -2026

FAIRFIELD NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN CONSULTATION STATEMENT Introduction. In November 2013 a potential Steering Group consisting of members of the Parish Council. Fairfield Hall Management Company, Fairfield Hall Residents Association and the community in general met to discuss the Neighbourhood and Parish Plan process informed by Bedforshire Rural Communities Charity (BRCC). The Steering Group Constitution, Roles and responsibilities and timetable of events was approved by Fairfield Parish Council, who would fund the process, in February 2013 In March and April 2014 the community were invited to ‘Have your say’ by returning an initial flyer by hard copy or online or attending two open days hosted by BRCC in the community hall. Over 100 people responded in these events and the key issues for the community were identified. In May 2014 working groups were set up lead by the Steering Group to review the responses with certain overarching sections and to prepare questions for a survey to be sent to all households. The draft survey was tested by volunyeers to ensure understanding of the questions and the ease of responding. BRCC and CBC were asked to comment to ensure all questions were worded fairly and covered all the issues. The questionnaire was distributed to all households in November 2014 and responses were requested either on hard copy or online. 226 questionnaires were submitted online and 324 by hard copy. The 550 responses gave an approximate return of 52% of households. The results of the hard copies were input onto the Surveymonkey software and the results were announced at the March 2015 Parish Council AGM. Further volunteers were recruited to the Steering Group and working parties set up in April 2015 to analyse the results and identify the actions needed to respond to the issues. The draft parish plan was designed and circulated to CBC and BRCC and the steering group for consideration and the final approved plan was distributed to all households in October 2015. Meanwhile in September 2015 FPC, aware of the content of the emerging Parish Plan, appointed BRCC to prepare a Green Infrastructure Plan. This involved three public workshops from September to November 2015 hosted by BRCC. Purpose of the Statement. This statement intends to provide you with the evidence that the above consultation did in fact take place and notes the results of that consultation. It also illustrates how those results have been the driving force behind both the Fairfield Parish Plan 2015 and this Fairfield Neighbourhood Plan 2016. A Parish and Neighbourhood Plan Timeline is provided and used as the thread that links together all the evidence documentation that follows.

CSE 1 Local Plan, Design statement, Neighbourhood Plan. (Parish Plan steering group meeting 25/11/13) What are we trying to achieve by producing one or more of these documents. Initial brainstorming exercise. To maintain the initial design standards of the estate and ensure all future development is in line with those standards. To improve the car parking situation within the estate by identifying additional car parking areas and areas where car parking should be restricted. To consider the speed limits within the estate to help improve the safety for pedestrians. To identify the current areas of public open space (POS) and to ensure their continued designation as POS. To ensure that these areas are maintained to an acceptable level. To pursue the ownership of these areas by the parish council. Particular consideration to be given to the Orchards to ensure their continued use as Orchards and that they are maintained and cultivated correctly. Once again to consider the ownership of these areas by the parish council. To identify a priority order for additional recreational facilities within the parish. Particular attention to be given to the needs of the 13 plus age range. Facilities could include football pitches, MUGA (multi use games area), skateboard park, youth shelter. To identify the demand for allotments in the parish and land on which to locate them. To establish a priority order for the use of the community hall. What activities would be popular and on what dates. This may include a reconsideration of the building form itself to make it more suitable to provide those activities. To establish the demand for further facilities and services within the parish and to identify a location for them. These could include doctor’s surgery, pharmacy, dentist, fast food outlet, additional shops or a library. To consider security requirements within the parish to combat crime and anti-social behaviour. These could include security cameras, neighbourhood watch, street watch or other initiatives. To consider the demand for care for the elderly in the parish. Depending on the level required the BRCC led voluntary good neighbour scheme could be suitable. To become more aware of the demographics within the parish and migration trends for the future. How long are people going to stay in the parish? Is there a particular reason (eg, school availability/quality) for movement in and out of the parish? To be able to have some influence on the future use of land within the parish. Is there a wish for Fairfield to grow and if so where will that happen and what will be provided? Consider pig farm and future uses etc – try to get DEFRA in discussions about their future plans; see how we can influence, get the best/something for FP out of whatever they end up doing; see if there is anything we can include in our plans to facilitate, accommodate it

Provision of suitable public transport for the Parish's needs. Most people will need to travel to work, many in London, so transport for them is important, although we should not forget the young mothers and the elderly who need to go to town to the shops and visit the doctor etc. For the increasing number that are now able to work from home, having provision of high speed broadband is becoming more essential than ever. The Parish will become a far less attractive place to live for many without this facility. Is there a need to provide a working environment within the Parish? Would some provision of office/workshop facilities be desirable? If so where? I know that we spoke of it briefly, but should we include some mention of the future use of the chapel? Development of this in almost any way will presumably raise the subject of car parking for the users of the building..... surely we don't want it to fall derelict. Perhaps we should look at the potential for future use of a valuable building. Tennis courts – who own them and who should be able to use/control them Take into consideration the adjoining businesses within the parish, i.e. garden centre (is pub in parish) – potential individual discussions with them to hear views/needs etc As a general note – consider the whole parish not just Fairfield Park

Like the green spaces and the bulbs. Every year it looks better. Relative individuality of the properties The country feel of the development Victoriana feel and attention to detail of the lamp posts, paving and green spaces etc There are more things to do now for children. Good use of the community centre. What would you change about Fairfield. Would like more wild flowers perhaps in the memorial garden We need a good pub Drivers who fail to give way on Dickens Boulevard Excessive speeds on the part of some drivers Inconsiderate car parking RECORD OF WORKSHOP COMMENTS. Youth, Sport and Leisure. Refurbish tennis court and give access to it. Facilities for older children

Proper football pitch Traffic and Transport. Bus shelter in an appropriate style for Fairfield Crossing issues between play area. Tesco’s truck issues. Signed covenant not enforceable. Road speed, parked cars and Tesco’s car park junction. Antisocial parking is a real issue. Commercial vehicles parking overnight, especially on Dickens Boulevard. Ban all Range Rovers as they obviously cannot drive Car Parking Parking on narrow roads and around bends. Traffic speeds Lack of signage on roads Improved signage not too OTT. Community Services and Facilities. Maybe we should have a Victorian/Edwardian day as a community day Improved community spirit Do not like Tesco’s. Would prefer independent shops ‘Welcome to Fairfield’ sign. Car park for the Community Centre is inadequate. Neighbour Watch Areas. Big start up on the whole park. The Church. It is a shame it is not being used for something. Memorial garden. Just a lump of metal at the moment. It needs finishing off with garden area or stone setts around it. Health. Doctors surgery once a week or so. Pharmacy possibly in Tesco’s Chemist and local surgery would be good. Not enough doctors at Stotfold. Crime and Community Safety. Footpath crossings do not align on road – danger for young children on bikes and buggies. Improved lighting at the rear of the hall and between there and Tesco’s Improved policing. Inspection pits for old telegraph poles and lamp posts. Manhole covers keep getting stolen Environment. Litter. No bins except at the children’s playground. Employ a litter picker. Form ‘friends’ group for management of the Orchards Horse riders do not keep to the bridle way and churn up the verges. The Urban Park needs more plants, replace tree and seems desolate. Litter, more bins needed. All dogs should be on a lead throughout the estate. More street trees in both public and private places. Long grass and wild flowers are good in certain areas. What to do with redundant lamp posts and inspection holes. Orchards need looking at and verge needs cutting along Orchard edge. Should there be more public art. Unkempt area around the balancing pond on Hitchin Road. Encourage public ownership of open spaces, eg. the cricket ground area. Allotments

Housing and Developments. Footpath from the bowls club car park to the clubhouse has never been finished. Why were developers allowed to get away without finishing. Gypsies and travellers. Concerns raised about who would want to live here then. Any new development to look like Fairfield Still signs remaining from developers especially Hitchin Road. Others. Obelisk is an eyesore (disputed within group)

Peace and quiet around the Hall. A community for those who wish to be part of it. Easy access to town and country. Beautiful cared for surroundings. Now we have our own parish council, an opportunity to become involved. Corner shop – Tesco’s Quiet, tidy, well kempt. Pleasant neighbours Play areas and activities for children The design ethos The friendliness of people The peace and quiet of where I live in Fairfield Hall The community spirit

Dislikes Crossing the road near Tesco’s with children is sometimes difficult especially when people park across the crossing next to the postbox. Ideally should be zebra crossing or yellow lines. Parking at the community centre is not sufficient.

The sporadic vandalism The dog poo The few hall residents not repecting our peaceful location and private gardens. Lack of infrastructure. The many small things left unfinished by the various developers Car parking everywhere No high speed broadband Not enough urban amenities.

Inconsiderate, possibly unnecessary parking on streets esp Dickens Boulevard. Awful broadband speeds in Hardy Way

Many areas are unkempt eg orchards, areas alongside Eliot Way and west of the church Inconsiderate drivers (parking, speeding) Inconsiderate dog owners. People walking across grassed areas so making parts of the grounds unsightly. People not respecting others space and ignoring signs put there for everyone’s benefit.

Parking – one way traffic possible in some areas. Orchard – beautiful place but trees need help and attention

Lack of visitor and residents parking including for Tesco’s Speed of traffic. Could do with a café near Tesco’s. Managing agents have not adopted the public areas near me. Currently no grass cutting and no street lights. Garage area lighting not working, no lighting to side path next to the bowls green – can be very dark there. Too many cars parked on roads Litter around Tesco and Kipling Crescent. Have school extension allowed for extra cars so they do not have to congest Kipling Crescent even more. The Orchards need to be renovated. They are dying through lack of care. Car parking – too many people park carelessly and without thought to road safety. Traffic congestion on Dickens Boulevard. No clear guidance at junction to Hardy Way. The road opposite 39/41 Hardy Way needs sorting and lightiing

Parking Driving too quickly near the school. Fireworks shop Need proper lighting all around the park to enable people to walk to the gym/orchard at night. Entire circuit of FP should be lit so we can run/exercise at night/evening Grounds maintenance of curbs, roadsides etc. Especially in oldest areas of the park. Roadside parking causing traffic and safety problems

The car parking near Tesco’s. Dog walkers who do not use the bins provided. Traffic problems that seem to be getting worse.

The parking around Tesco’s is terrible The car transporter and large vans are not supposed to be on the estate The unsightly array of dustbins opposite the school should be put away Litter Parking and road layout around Tesco’s is dangerous. Dog poo Large amounts of works vehicles and vans on the park Lack of path to the garden centre Car parking Try driving up/down Dickens Boulevard. Parking is a real issue here. Some areas have parked cars on the pavement. There must be a safety issue especially for prams and buggies Proliferation of trade vehicles parking overnight Unwillingness of PC to use covenants to ensure the proper standards are adhered to. Running a business from FP that affects other residents Untaxed, illegal and dumped vehicles The parking. Near us people who have garages, some double, and driveways are still parking on the road, probably because it saves them all of 30 secs walking to their front door. I am all for fining as this ruins the environment The lack of adequate parking so people have to park on the road.

Parking in dangerous places on roads. Dog poo School is too small Adoption of roads Inconsiderate and dangerous road car parking Parking on sidewalks and walkways No composting at Fairfield Hall Cycling connection to Letchworth could be made safer for cyclists

Dickens Boulevard is atrocious for parked cars. There is no way that two cars can pass on the road at the same time. You might as well have a one way system. To get out of Beeton Court with the parked cars you take your life in your hands.

Friendly people, nice area Green spaces; unique house designs; close proximity to the orchards, cricket pitch and Tesco’s; quiet location; good neighbours and community feel.

Fairfield is a very nice place to live, near the country but commutable to London. Very nice people, very chilled

The feeling that we are involved and part of the community.

The parking around the main entrance to Tesco’s The proposed travellers site Low broadband speeds Lack of reasonably priced social and sporting activities. The Hall is not completely finished and there is a dispute regarding various parcels of land.

The traffic island in Bronte Avenue which was intended as a traffic calming measure. Cars come at speed on the wrong side and use it as a roundabout to turn around. The amount of dog and cat poo that is amassing in the various play areas and green areas, not to mention the cricket pitch. The parking is atrocious – people park in the road instead of in front of their garages which always appear empty Residents parking, speeding traffic and commercial vehicles on Dickens Boulevard. Lack of tennis court development No outside area for teenagers to go Poor state of church building near Shaftesbury Ave. Lack of care of Orchards Parking problems Inconsiderate parking, eg on corners of Dickens Boulevard Litter and fly-tipping near the orchard and cricket pitch/tennis courts Area in front of 11-19 Palmerston Way is unkempt and has never been maintained, ie. Nettles, brambles and rubbish which ruins the approach to the cricket pitch Bad parking Lack of high speed broadband Path around the park not finished Firework shop display Parking on Dickens Boulevard by the playground is against the rules. Glass recycling area needs fencing around it to disguise it. It is in a very prominent place. Orchards left when just need grass cut and benches providedAdult area opposite playground on DB is a pointless space. No trees outside the front of the school. Lighting on West Drive The constant congestion around Dickens Boulevard. The inconsiderate and dangerous parking on corners around Tesco. The unfinished landscaping on the urban park and dead trees

Not enough parking. Speeding outside the school. No lighting at night between gym and around edge of park for exercising. Firework shop is an eyesore A net on the tennis court would be great. The cars parked along the roads, especially on corners, roundabouts and too near road calmers. This is particularly dangerous for children crossing the road. Not enough for 11-17 year olds to do. Unfinished areas; the orchards need looking after; not enough flowers. Urban Park, what is happening there, nothing of interest, waste of space. Dickens Boulevard should be no parking as it really is too narrow for people to park on the road.

The political infighting that goes on. Unless that stops then Fairfield will fail. Not enough room on this form Litter/lack of litter bins on the park Car parking Urban Park is unattractive and unwelcoming. Central feature never completed Regular parking on pavements. Unsafe crossing roads due to uncontrolled parking. Unsafe for children. An accident waiting to happen. Congestion around Tesco, residents parking in ‘shoppers’ space. Time restriction must be enforced. In considerate parking Unused facilities. Orchards, tennis courts and old church need to be maintained and brought into use. Selfish parking Parked cars in Dickens Boulevard make it very difficult and dangerous to enter and exit Fairfield. Too much traffic congestion around the Tesco area. Traffic/parking-the need for traffic control in terms of sorting out parking on corners and inappropriate places. Need for double lines. Also people parking on pavements is a no no. Somewhere safer provide special parking places. Litter louts The amount of cars and VANS being parked on the roads. The fact that the orchards are being used for their fruit. There are no allotments

Design and community Range of facilities – parks, Tesco’s, community hall, school, preschool etc Good sense of community where people care about their surroundings Like the Hardy Way/West Drive orchard Fairfield is quiet with good green areas and well laid out walkways.

Traffic / parking and access through Dickens. This is only going to get worse. Alternative routes through to other roads needs to be looked at. No pub. Whilst i appreciate this is a tricky one as no one would want it next

dislikes Slow broadband speed with estimates that it won't be improved until at least July 2015 Congested streets due to the parking situation Dog fouling throughout the park

When are zig zags and crossings going to be added Traffic /parking situation around Tesco and DB. Rubbish dropped around the park Lack of signage around Hardy Way which means that there is continually vehicles reversing Mopeds cutting through to Arlesey

Parking is becoming an issue especially along DB and around Tesco Express. Where vehicles are parked reduces DB to a single lane. Large vans and car recovery vehicles are parked in this area which is actually against the covenants for Fairfield. Copperfield Close is not covered by the management company which means regular maintenance is not carried out to the detriment of the overall tidiness of the estate Dog owners who do not pick up their dog sxxx. Speeding drivers Parking, driving, crossing the road outside the school.

Dangerous parking 9on junctions, corners and blocking crossing points) Lack of recreation ground and facilities for older children. Poor state of Orchard and area behind community centre. Terrible parking – no thought for others or childrens safety Cars constantly getting lost down Hardy Way and having to reverse back up the road, due to out of date sat/navs. Cars parked along first part of Dickens Boulevard making it unsafe to cross by the park and Tesco’s

The land in front of Palmerston Way between numbers 11-19 has never been cleared up from when it was owned by the former Mental Hospital. Bushes and trees grow on the land but during winter as the greenery dies

Car Parking- cars parking on corners Owners of cars not using their driveways Residents not abiding to the covanance especially work vans and lorries parked in front of homes and on Boulevard Avenue in front of the play areas. Animal litter fouling the green areas and my private garden Rubbish/Litter- there seems to be loads of litter around the park Path lighting-when not working who do we report it too? Light in front of Palmerston way not working

Safe family environment Plenty of Green spaces Mature trees Orchards Community Hall Community feel

I havnt lived on fairfield long and like it, but the parking is the biggest thing wrong with it,cars on paths, cars on bends, vans and lorries parked on road up to tescos that really makes nice start to park ugly and very congested for everybody. Also its bad on paths for buggys to get past safely, so even if no road markings on road we all know the rules about parking dont we , people who live here that do park illegal think they either above road rules or because its a no through park they think its ok, its not. Also being a dog walker sometimes i see dog mess which should have been picked up and disposed off, again majority do it we need everybody to do it. Yours angry resident!!!!

We really like the open spaces and play areas that we access daily as a whole family. Easy access to good amenities e.g the orchard restaurant, tesco and the variety of facilities and classes at the community centre. Overall appearance of the park- generally it looks like a well kept development -school

We like the way Fairfield is developing to support families with its focus on providing specific community services, which is one of the reasons why we moved here. Brunel Walk (where we live) and its neighbours are very social and strive to provide our children, the same experiences we had when we were children, playing outside in nice safe surroundings.

door but one just offsite would i think be very welcome and popular. The work on the pavements since the estate was built has taken no consideration to the existing materials and looks shoddy. The biggest dislike we have is the selfish, inconsiderate and dangerous habits of car owners on Bronte Avenue. Double parking; parking on bends; cars parking on opposite sides of the road; on kerbs and blocking tight access points is very frustrating. As we live at the far end of Fairfield, the manoeuvring we have to do to weave in and out of the parked cars is disgusting. One day there will be a major accident unless someone stops talking about the problem and actually does something. Just put double yellow lines all round Bronte. Better this than the parked cars. Lack of parking at tescos means that the main road in to and out of fairfield is very congested. Parking of commercial vehicles along the main entrance in to and out of the park adds to the above problem

Parking Littering Dog fouling Putting notices in every lamppost to advertise businesses, events, direction etc a) As a London commuter I would love to cycle to Hitchin station but there is no practical cycle path. b) Lack of parking for visitors

The houses in Palmerston Way (11-19) were sold to owners with the promise that the land in front was going to be landscaped. Despite contact with numerous parties over the years this has never been dealt with (everyone claims not to be responsible for the land, but someone must own it!) and in fact it makes me feel like no-one bothers to listen. The land has NEVER been cleared up from when it was owned by the former Mental Hospital. In fact, residents used to ask the Cricket club to mow at least the first few feet of the grass for us. Bushes and trees grow on the land and have now become VERY overgrown and the land underneath is unfortunately littered with cans and broken glass which is unsafe for children and animals. I am concerned one day there could be an injury, especially since children use the area behind to make dens etc.

back the ground is littered with broken glass, old tiles, gun cartridges etc.. I have fed this back to various groups for many years now and it has not been addressed because the area was under the developers responsibility, now they have gone can this please be addressed? I am concerned one day there could be an injury. Car Parking- cars parking on corners Owners of cars not using their driveways Residents not abiding to the covanance especially work vans and lorries parked in front of homes and on Boulevard Avenue in front of the play areas. The road lay out by TESCO its dangerous and one day I can see a serious accident happening. Its very difficult to pull out of the Tesco car park with all the cars parked nearby and you can not see up the road. Its also not safe for children to cross the road. Some people do not pick up their dog mess, perhaps we could have more bins?

Please please can we as a parish council take ownership of this area and

Our small children were also playing in the tennis court but not for long as it was littered with glass.

Something needs to be done about this parking area (for the bowls and cricket clubs). Teen agers have started using it to sit in their cars, play music and smoke. For several hours yesterday a car of teenagers sat in front of the tennis courts not put off by 6 little toddlers running around near by.

Yesterday I met with neighbours for a picnic on the grounds of the cricket pitch. To my horror people have been using it for fly tipping. Near the tennis court someone has off loaded loads of plastic bags with waste and further down there is a pile of concrete and slabs. I really hope this litter is not from individuals from the park. It was really upsetting to see. I’m not sure what can be done to stop this sort of behaviour but it definatley needs clearing up.

Is there any possibility that these areas can be cleared to make it areas safe and pleasant to the residents?

In particular, I'd like to raise awareness of dumped concrete/paving slabs along the edge of the cricket pitch near the tennis courts and also bags of rubbish also dumped alongside the cricket pitch but near to the bowls car park towards Fairfield hall. In addition, there is broken glass within the tennis court of which my children nearly cut themselves on.

Whilst out and about on the park at the weekend I have noticed considerable amounts of litter and builders debris dumped around the cricket pitch which is not only dangerous, but also unsightly.

c) I would like to see some sort of community allotment scheme or perhaps, as mentioned above, a scheme to train and grow fruit trees up the walls in the walled garden. This was a kitchen garden originally, could it be converted into allotments for people to rent? d) Would love to see more bulb planting and maybe snowdrops and/or bluebells in the wooded areas, and/or other conservation schemes. e) It would be great to see the church put to good use, such as some sort of arts space - maybe.

The fact that it is now its own Parish and can decide what's best for• Fairfield and use funds appropriately. The fact that the Parish seems to be developing into what it should to be - its own community. The parks for children, and open spaces for all to enjoy. • Fairfield is a quiet environment to live, with very low crime and that is a valuable asset today. • The fact that it's a great place to live.

The parking over by Tesco. This is now becoming a menace, and drivers are now parking on the road entrance to Tesco on the main boulevard, and blocking it. Not even bothering to pull into a parking space when they are in a hurry, even if there are spaces. Parking in general around the Hall and Park is very poor, with drivers using pavements, grassed areas and the main drive of the Hall to stop and park up. The fact that dog owners still use the lawns (especially at the Hall, cricket pitch and path by the school) as a toilet for their dogs, and do not clean up afterwards. The Orchard is now a no-go area for walking due to the dog mess, as this is the "toilet of choice" for dog owners. The fact that the Orchard has been left to deteriorate. Not only is it a shame, but the preservation order sought to keep the Orchard from development is being eroded by the deterioration of the trees in general and the area being abused due to dog walkers (above). This can only lead to another challenge of development in the future, and needs to be dealt with. The Orchard could be restored and commence producing again. We would be keen to see this happen. We are also concerned that the dog mess will become a health hazard to children who play in the Orchard, as it has become outside the school. The lack of bollards along the path from the Hall to the School. Several cars (including the contractors for the building of the new school!!!) have been driving down this path, reversing when they realise there is bollard at the

It is also dangerous. Yesterday small children were playing with a smal plane which on several occasions landed in the bushes in front of palmerston way. No harm was had but one day a child may come to harm as the area is littered with old tiles, concrete, glass etc... it needs a professional team to come in and give it a tidy up to make it safe and put in good order like the surroundings of the rest of the park.

I have lived on the park nearly 8 years and have constently raised the issue that no maintenance or even clearing up of the grounds in front of palmerston way, around the tennis court has occured. The cricket pitch grounds and surrounding area is a real gem for us on a new housing development but it is an eye sore around the areas where the cricket club owners do not own the land.

other end and parking up, without any regard for pedestrians and their children or the fact that this is a PATH. A bollard would prevent this. Lack of "professional and purpose" signs around the Hall and Park that tell people not to walk/cycle on the grass and use the paths provided. Telling visitors where to park, namely overflow car parking for the Cricket club and bowls (the present one is just shoddy) and by the School and Community Centre- it is shameful the way the school entrance is blocked by drivers. While there is a fine line between over doing it with signs, there needs to be some to direct people and build identity. The fact that the tennis courts have never been restored and are now a football pitch!!! Signage in general - It would be good to have one that identifies "Fairfield" at both ends of where it begins and ends on the Hitchin Road. And of course from the main road, as many Sat Navs still direct you to Stotfold itself, so a sign at the round-about would help. The first round-about in to Fairfield (entrance to Bannatynes) needs tidying up so it reflects the Parish. It would be good to see both round-abouts maintained to the same standard. Again building identity of the Parish. While Fairfield is its own Parish, some work needs to be done to establish it. Are we a village? Will our addresses change from Stotfold to Fairfield? Time will tell, but some clarity over this would be good. This is our USP.

Poor internal build quality and layout of some properties General overdevelopment and high density of housing in some parts of the estate Parking and congestion (e.g. approaching Tesco’s from Stotfold Road along Dickens Boulevard - commercial vehicles parked alongside the play area create delays and hamper visibility). Also failure of planners to provide loading/unloading space for Tescos and lack of drop-off/pick-up space outside the school (do parents who live on the estate really need to drive there?). Damage to verges through thoughtless parking. Slow pace of adoption of roads by the local authority. Having to pay the management company for a service we don’t receive (upkeep of Nickleby Way gardens and verges is not covered by Scanlan’s contract) Absence of landscaping in some areas (e.g. going west along Dickens Boulevard from alongside Tescos. Some large, mature trees have been removed and replaced with saplings which will take decades to grow. Can’t more be made of the large grassed area in front of the school?).

Have your say in the future of Fairfield.

The Parish Plan and Neighbourhood Questionnaire

Have your say in the future of Fairfield.

“ Please take some time to read through and answer the questionnaire ”

Completion of the questionnaire by as many residents of Fairfield Parish as possible will give the Parish Council and it’s partners the clearest indication yet of the issues and areas of concern for residents. The results of this survey will be used to develop two new plans for Fairfield: - A plan of actions to be taken over the next five to ten years by the Parish Council to best address your issues. - A Neighbourhood Plan which will set out planning policies to guide the development and use of land in the Parish.

The gates are too easy for very young children to push open. Some open onto car parks and near busy roads. A

11/2/2014 1:21 PM

replaced in the next few years - are we saving enough in the contingency funds to pay to replace this equipment when the time comes? 122

Ensure regular maintenance. For example, the swings at the Tesco park haven't been oiled in a very long time.

288

Tennis courts that already exist. Plus some money for a small club house, maybe sharing with the cricket club.

10/24/2014 1:59 PM

Area 18 behind the community Hall for a proper grass football pitch. Do not agree with a skate park. This cannot be managed, and as the parks already attract others from outside the area, which is fine as they are generally preschoolers with parents in the day time. A skate park will attract older people, not necessarily children, and a plan as to how this would be managed on a social level would need to be in place. 289

Children's groups and have hired for children's party. But I have to say I am looking elsewhere for hall hire as I feel

10/24/2014 1:59 PM

the Community Hall is too expensive for residents of the Parish. It also seems the Hall has become a permanent fixture for certain groups at the weekend, I understand this is due to the Community Hall securing a regular income. And agree balancing the books is important, but let's not forget what the Hall is for - the people of the Parish. Over a certain price per hour it is not worth hiring. There should be an hourly rate for use, and lower set-up charge either side of the usage (could be limited to 30mins-1hr). I just think it is worth noting that while regular groups take up permanent block bookings providing valuable income, Parish residents feel the cost of hiring the Hall is a) not possible and the cost is not worth it for a children's party. A big shame. Other Halls in the area are not that greedy, and I fear the Community Hall is getting a bit of reputation as being just that - greedy, treating Parish residents as cash cows. 254

A pub, would be a great setting and just out the way as to not to disturb many residents

10/27/2014 1:06 AM

318

it should be restored to its former use as a church as its part of the history of Fairfield and could be used for the

10/24/2014 1:59 PM

with Fairfield Hall to use the over-flow car park (offered to the Bowls club), church goers can walk through the grounds and enjoy the lovely surroundings to church, or agree something with Bannatynes. There is something beautiful about St Luke's and it would be even more special put back into use as a church where the community can go to. 326

While we are not concerned, we are very aware of potential crime - fact of life. We think keeping the Parish clean,

10/24/2014 2:09 PM

tidy and in order will enable all to see when things are deteriorating. i.e. no drug problem, but if empty beer cans and then other paraphernalia starts to appear (ie in the orchard/parks etc)then it's easier to spot a problem and do something. Stay vigilant. Don't rest on laurels, but don't live in fear in a gated community either. 39

Stop young people riding motorcycles on the pedestrian walkways.

Park paved for market square and cafe

12/14/2014 1:25 PM

This was a good idea which ended up being badly executed. If more parking is required, this area should be

considered, not areas close to properties. 38

A mix of meadow, trees, shrubs & flowers

12/14/2014 11:34 AM

56

car parking - we get no value from it in its current state so support a change

12/7/2014 6:33 PM

57

There are 16 benches already. Currently a redundant area but could showcase events (music, markets). A

12/7/2014 6:13 PM

prominent centre piece like a grand statue (locally designed). Why not combine a market square and gardens 58

Landscaped car park. Trees/shrubs so no vehicles on view.

12/7/2014 5:43 PM

12/5/2014 12:55 PM

Needs to be able to be used for a variety of things occasional markets, events, fetes, but also be attractive with a

12/4/2014 10:00 PM

Don't want to see it completely paved, but it would make a great space for an open Fayre. I like the idea of

10/24/2014 2:28 PM

introducing some kind of cultural market in this space once or twice a year (May and December). Bring back some tradition, in collaboration with the Community Hall. As for parking, like we say there is lots around the park in designated areas. Overflow at the Hall, Bannatynes overflow, bowls club. 129

If it was screened more from the road people would be more likely to use it

10/23/2014 8:01 PM

Kick- about area to be marked out and set up as a 5-a-side pitch. Tennis court are to be upgraded to be usable as

kick about/Tennis areas, bought up to spec with goals posts, pitch laid out (or 2 mini pitches), Tennis courts

11/4/2014 9:59 AM

cleaned up for use (free) make these areas fit for purpose. Orchards need to be worked on to improve them so they are pruned/managed for prosperity/enjoyment of all. 135

Chopping the orchards down for more housing would be a tragedy and must be resisted at all costs. I would love to

11/3/2014 11:47 AM

see the tennis courts restored to full use possibly run as part of a tennis club. I am not sure what use could be made of the area behind the community hall but I'm sure there will be many good suggestions from others. 136

Kick about area should be a football pitch and the tennis court should be turned into a tennis club

11/2/2014 9:11 PM

137

Some bins on the cricket pitch would be useful. Tennis courts should be made available for use by residents.

We should set up a tennis club but we need a net, a storage "shed" and the fences repaired. Bowls club could

10/28/2014 4:24 PM

10/26/2014 8:12 PM

you could put an area for the children for football as thats what they use it for anyway. 150

There are enough houses here now. Traffic will become untenable and it will be a less attractive place to live if

10/26/2014 4:49 PM

more houses are built. The surrounding countryside must also be protected from development. 151

Orchards - return them to their former glory as orchards Sporting bits Kick-about - tirned into a proper upto u10

10/25/2014 9:58 AM

Orchards - maintained better, & improved for wildlife e.g. bird & bat boxes installed. Tennis court - maintained and

10/24/2014 9:14 PM

opened up for regular community usage - on an hourly fee basis. This could be used for other sports too. Kick about area behind the community hall - mown & maintained by the contractor. This could include a water play park. 155

Orchard (16&17) - brought back to life by professional tree specialists. Producing fruit that can be harvested by

10/24/2014 2:28 PM

locals. Kick-about area - maintained and at the very least provided with some proper goal posts. If it's going to be used for football make it look like that. Tennis court area - Investment to renovate and bring it up to standard for use. To be maintained and some kind of hire system for use. 156

Lets have some shops and food / drink places on the estate, there are no pubs within walking distance realistically

10/23/2014 4:01 PM

and it would help build community spirit. 157

Temporary goal posts should be removed for safety reasons and replaced

Good architecture can inspire!

12/9/2014 3:56 PM

Its critical that extensions are kept in character

Fairfield intentionally built to an architectural code different to normal planning practice, should be retained in any

Fairfield Parish Plan and Neighbourhood Questionnaire 29

The present look and character were dictated by proximity to further asylum building

12/7/2014 6:07 PM

30

increased facilities must be provided i.e Medical Centre, shops

12/7/2014 5:46 PM

31

Feel very strongly about this

12/7/2014 5:27 PM

32

Don't see the need for materials need to be wood not pvc

12/7/2014 3:29 PM

33

Strict building regulations and covenants should be kept to.

12/7/2014 3:09 PM

34

This would be in contradiction to the covenants that many existing and original residents abide by

12/7/2014 2:16 PM

35

None to be built at all

12/5/2014 3:44 PM

36

The area is developed enough.

12/5/2014 12:59 PM

37

Its important that the area stays looking the same its what sets it apart from other developments

12/4/2014 10:16 PM

38

To build more housing would spoil the feeling of openness. I moved here because it feels rural

12/4/2014 4:22 PM

39

It is essential that the character of Fairfield Park is a) preserved and b) encouraged elsewhere.

12/4/2014 2:29 PM

40

Not to be built

12/4/2014 1:15 PM

41

NO FURTHER DEVELOPMENT!I do not support additional houses however extensions in same style and brick if

12/4/2014 12:13 PM

poss 42

No need to develop within the parish - plenty of space around it.

11/30/2014 6:02 PM

43

Think it would be quite devastating to the local community for there to be further development linked to the park-

11/30/2014 9:07 AM

our roads and services (especially the school) are past capacity as it is. I think it could create huge problems in many areas and be detrimental to community cohesion. 44

There should be no consideration for further housing.

11/28/2014 4:51 PM

45

but parking needs to be a big consideration, most have 2 cars.

11/28/2014 4:03 PM

46

However, we strongly believe that any further development within Fairfield should be ruled out. The parish is

11/27/2014 12:30 AM

already over-developed and the housing density is too great to accommodate any more dwellings. 47

Going out of character would confuse the strong identity that has been established. Unless there was a separate

11/27/2014 12:10 AM

area that had an identity of it's own, and didn't dilute the current 'look and feel' that we all love. 48

No further development

11/26/2014 10:31 PM

49

If you make them look different it would ruin the style of the park

11/24/2014 6:04 PM

50

Variety is surely the spice of life?

11/22/2014 5:47 PM

51

no further building

11/16/2014 5:53 PM

52

Don't want any development

11/14/2014 3:42 PM

53

There's already too many homes

11/10/2014 3:00 PM

54

No more houses

11/5/2014 2:08 PM

55

If possible and practical this should be extended to windows, front doors, garden buildings and fencing

11/3/2014 12:04 PM

56

I don't want anymore houses built

10/26/2014 4:50 PM

57

It is really important that planning does not allow anything to fall below what is already here.

10/24/2014 3:13 PM

58

Part of the charm of this parish was that it is only going to be the size it is now, with greater numbers of houses it

10/23/2014 4:03 PM

just increases problems which are still on going.

do something about the fireworks shop and improved lighting (low level) around the perimeter of the Park so that it is accessible all year. Thank you for taking the time to create and undertake this survey, its a fabulous idea and really feels like our views are valued. 14

Parking is a massive problem and needs to be addressed. If further development were to happen ample parking is

12/22/2014 6:03 PM

a must also wider roads, because the narrow roads and congestion lets the park down. 18

Coffee shop, More trees and shrubs Heathcliff Avenue park is lacking planting and surrounding grass area is poor

A social gathering venue such as a gastro or traditional country pub. More information around local gatherings

would be great. Also the Fairfield area could could have a parade of shops selling local produce, a tea room clothing, gifts 31

Pretty much happy with the way things are, apart from the traffic issues in the Tesco's area and Bowls/cricket

12/19/2014 6:02 PM

12/17/2014 3:06 PM

65

i think it is ridiculous that the elliottway/hardy way road is blocked given the traffic issues

12/17/2014 2:56 PM

66

75

enforce parking off the road; more tree planting on Bronte Ave; clear cycle path to Etonbury; development of

87

it is lovely as it is. The best place I have lived.

12/15/2014 11:42 AM

88

No overdevelopment Better traffic management and parking restrictions

12/15/2014 11:17 AM

89

no further housing expansion more facilities for existing residents cleaner environment, removal of horse and dog

waste, regular landscaping 90

less stress accessing the parish. Some competition to Tesco. Easy access public house/coffee bar. Stopping any

12/15/2014 10:55 AM

redevelopment on Orchards. Seeing what our council tax is being used for. 91

buses to baldock

12/15/2014 10:43 AM

92

More services such as a pharmacy, parcel collection point, longer swimming pool and restaurant

12/15/2014 10:26 AM

93

A dedicated school bus service/improved cycle routes for children going to Etonbury. Less parking on busy roads

12/15/2014 9:47 AM

More safety around Tesco's and the school road crossings 94

Slow down traffic using traffic calming. Reduce cars parked along main thoroughfares.

12/14/2014 6:33 PM

95

More respectful parking and driving. It is well knows that the park is full of young children and many drivers appear

12/14/2014 1:28 PM

to forget this when driving around. Parents should not park on the corner at Nickleby Way/Dickens Boulevard, completely blocking the dropped kerb and obstructing the pavement. This is very unsafe for other parents trying to safely cross the road with young children. Could the grassed area infront of the school be planted up in the future. 96

Less traffic, better parking facilities. Enforce parking restrictions. Speed limit. Do something more creative and

12/14/2014 1:16 PM

attractive to roundabout at entrance, i.e. planting. 97

Street lighting along Eliot Way. Removal of Bannatynes boards. Removal of poster frame work. Grass along front of

12/14/2014 1:05 PM

roundabout to Eliot Way. Clearance around outside edges/boundary around Shaftsbury Drive. Definitely no more buildings - infrastructure not sustainable. 98

Consideration for others when parking and driving. A community day could bring us together as friends and

12/14/2014 12:59 PM

neighbours in aid of raising moeny for the parish or charity. 99

Making sure surroundings are kept up to standard

12/14/2014 12:51 PM

100

St Lukes Church being used as a church that services the community. No furthern expansion of Fairfield Park.

12/14/2014 12:49 PM

101

A nice pub. Stop the terrible parking on Dickens Boulevard and all the bends/chicanes on Bronte Avenue

12/14/2014 12:48 PM

102

Keep things pretty much as they are. Tackling parking/speeding issues which tend to be a bug-bear for everyone.

12/14/2014 12:31 PM

103

Less traffic. Better parking - garages are not used half of the time. Somewhere to listen to music in the summertime

12/14/2014 12:16 PM

in the open air. 104

It's a very nice place to live. More frequent buses to Letchworth, with street-lit walkways to Middlemarch would be

12/14/2014 11:44 AM

great. More choice of shops would be nice but not essential. Maybe an area/leisure facility for teenagers would be beneficial or a youth club 105

Traffic parking and people using their allocated parking space. I live near a large 4-bed house with large drive to

12/14/2014 11:27 AM

double garage and space in front of garage for 3 cars but they chose to park their 3 cars on the road. 106

Doctor and Dentist surgeries at Fairfield More cycle routes Reduce the number of cars parked on Dickens

12/12/2014 5:17 PM

Boulevard 107

Better Parking Fairfield Hall parking bays to be clearly marked out and designation indicated.

12/12/2014 4:47 PM

108

Stop letting DSS take houses and support people currently renting to buy houses in the area! Include people who

12/11/2014 8:41 PM

rent more stop treating them like second class residents here especially the "snobs" who look after the Hall 109

Continue to enjoy walking my dog in the surrounding countryside and return through the park with it's well

12/11/2014 9:54 AM

maintained leafy environment. More access to the Blue Lagoon would be nice as a walk ? Rights of way? 110

Keeping Fairfield Parish a COUNTRYSIDE environment

12/10/2014 12:14 PM

111

Sort out the parking/congestion and danger to road users outside Tescos. Put proper stop and give way signs in,

12/10/2014 11:43 AM

even traffic signals at busy times. Rush hour early 112

no more development

12/10/2014 9:55 AM

113

Shuttle buses to local train stations and town ares.

12/10/2014 9:29 AM

114

Golf club Secure sheltered bicycle parking

12/10/2014 9:04 AM

115

Tidy the central area around Tesco's and control parking and litter Urban Park needs to be more of a community

12/10/2014 8:54 AM

focus New community garden needs to be bat friendly Complete West Drive woodland path and preserve weigh bridge 116

intergenerational activities deliberate policies to reduce the 'us and them' attitude between hall and park, young and

12/10/2014 8:38 AM

old, renters and homeowners more free events so cost is not a barrier to joining in 117

planting of tree in the centre of the urban park and corner of Urban Park and Kipling Crescent recognition by bowls

12/10/2014 8:21 AM

and cricket club members that they have neighbours and are part of a residential area 118

I am not sure developig new homes is a good idea

121

This is a very well run development by the management team. We are renting and have no complaints

12/9/2014 3:42 PM

122

A co-ordinated approach between Parish Council and Scanlans to use resources to promote sport, leisure and

12/9/2014 3:29 PM

development of trees, wildlife and formal gardens. More plants as no value for money with Scanlans at present. 123

We need a large supermarket and the area in front of Fairfield Hall tidied and planted (are that the sales offices

12/9/2014 3:26 PM

were placed) 124

Address traffic issues

12/9/2014 3:11 PM

125

More opportunities to interact with people outside of working hours

12/9/2014 2:57 PM

126

sorting out people who do not park in their own spaces parking on roads to stop - issue fines

12/9/2014 2:03 PM

127

more community events: walking/cycling groups, local history tours, wildlife walks, fetes and markets

12/9/2014 1:10 PM

128

Protection for green spaces especially the orchards Less cars parked in stupid places in the streets

12/9/2014 12:55 PM

129

Cracking down on the inconsiderate and dangerous parking that would make driving, walking and cycling safer.

12/9/2014 12:34 PM

Protecting and enhancing the green spaces Resist development to ensure that all children can attend the lower school or more places 130

By ensuring that you do not park outside other peoples houses when you could park outside your own or in your

12/9/2014 12:25 PM

own spaces! 131

Solve Dickens Boulevard and visibility of vehicles

12/9/2014 9:51 AM

132

we should all respect each other in the community and be open minded when communicating with each other - not

12/9/2014 9:35 AM

being affluent and stuffy towards people in the community 133

Maintain the open spaces as they are, free from development and make better use of the Urban Park as a focal

12/9/2014 9:12 AM

point for community activities. 134

minimum amount of future development No travellers site

12/9/2014 8:55 AM

135

Sorting parking on key junctions - yellow lines are needed Having a proper football pitch and tennis court and

12/9/2014 8:41 AM

converting the Urban Park into a MUGA 136

To carry on as we are, maintaining the standards already set and not allow decline in any way shape or form.

12/8/2014 6:55 PM

137

Knowing that Fairfield is not going to be over developed and become just like any other town. Fairfield is unique. I

12/8/2014 6:47 PM

moved from Billericay to come here because it is small, unique and full of character and family spirit. Don't take that away. 138

Sorting out parking issues and people applying the highway code

12/8/2014 6:38 PM

139

My answer to to Question 60 is: None! People treating land and buildings with more respect

12/8/2014 12:32 PM

140

That everybody live and let live. Respect each other and enjoy the lovely environment that we live in. Increased

12/8/2014 12:12 PM

sense of community Respect for private areas 141

no housing association those currently here stand out for anti-social behaviour and unkempt appearance No more

12/8/2014 12:08 PM

house building more leisure facilities 142

The parish is lacking a good family pub/bar and restaurant as a social centre for the community. All good villages in

12/8/2014 12:01 PM

our area have a nice pub/restaurant at the core of their community and this is the only thing missing from Fairfield. A residential area of this size, with the number of young couples and families, needs somewhere on the park within walking distance. Unfortunately, The Orchard is not the right place, too small and too restricted in size and what they offer. 143

More consideration with parking and driving in Fairfield.

12/8/2014 11:20 AM

144

Sense of Community

12/7/2014 6:55 PM

145

Sensible planning for future generations of the Parish in elderly living, stuff for teenagers. Consideration of

12/7/2014 6:47 PM

everyone living here. 146

As mentioned, history boards on where we live and artifacts showcased, Alternatively promote the works of

12/7/2014 6:15 PM

Dickens around play areas or on history boards, place numbered board that children find and remeber what they've learnt. Picnic areas in orchards. 147

A pub A reataurant

12/7/2014 6:07 PM

148

Stop cars flying around the roundabour at Dicken Boulevard, and nearly everywhere.

12/7/2014 5:57 PM

149

MEdical centre, doctors surgery and pharmacy. Most important facility needed for young and old. We cannot, at

12/7/2014 5:46 PM

present, walk to a doctor or a chemist: if you are elderly or pushing a pushchair this is a major concern. Sheltered housing is becoming an increasing concern as residents get older; also the need to keep fit (within a budget) and provide for extra old-age care. 150

School should be enlarged to ensure it can accommodate all children in the Parish (extended to provide 2 storeys

12/7/2014 5:41 PM

or extended to the rear) Traffic/parking should not be permitted on dangerous bends and no commercial vehicles parking on roads 151

I do feel very happy here. Parking is my main issue. Generally on Copperfield Close it is inconsiderate school

12/7/2014 5:27 PM

parents. I do worry that if restrictions are placed onto Dickens, it will push the problem onto our roads/other roads nearby. Difficult to solve - Good Luck 152

1. Ability to buy a coffee when visiting the parks by Tesco. Either a coffee shop retail unit or a mobile coffee

12/7/2014 5:16 PM

premises. 2. Street lighting - particularly route from housing areas, via woods to Hall area where Gym and Orchard bar is. Possibly in green area walkways. 153

a pub or bar

Fairfield Parish Plan and Neighbourhood Questionnaire 154

People putting their rubbish in the bins, e.g. in the play areas. Dog poo being picked up. Considerate parking in

12/7/2014 5:04 PM

the street i.e. Bronte Avenue. If you have 3 cars - 1 on the road, 2 out the back in the garage area. 155

Traffic, parking measures. Get Tesco out for another preferred retail option (Sainsbury/M&S). Café to replace dry

12/7/2014 4:54 PM

cleaners. 156

If the number of houses increases, we must have amenities within the parish - not in Stotfold. In particular, middle

12/7/2014 4:37 PM

and upper school distances are a concern. Improvements should be made to the West Drive. 157

more parking, more considerate driving, removal of roundabout in Bronte Avenue - causes more problems than

12/7/2014 3:29 PM

solves 158

Improve parking problems to increase quality of life. Lack of school places concern, doctors surgeries difficult to

12/7/2014 3:09 PM

get appointment 159

More parking would make difference to look and safety of Fairfield

12/7/2014 2:34 PM

160

Other than solving some parking and traffic problems, and ensuring there is no more housing development, we feel

12/7/2014 2:16 PM

that there is still a sense of real happiness and wellbeing by us living in Fairfield parish 161

For people to be more considerate of each other. To realise what impact their actions have on others around them -

12/7/2014 12:59 PM

building a stronger sense of community may help this. If people feel proud of their area they are more likely to make an effort. Once parking is solved I feel Park will be a lot more pleasant. 162

A coffee shop near the main park/Tesco. They would make a mint! Also resolve the Dickens Boulevard parking

12/7/2014 12:35 PM

issues and traffic flow - it is now ridiculous. 163

Traffic and parking are already a big problem and are only bound to get worse as families grow up and want their

12/7/2014 12:26 PM

own cars. 164

Improve the orchards as wildlife areas and restore them.

12/7/2014 12:10 PM

165

People parking dangerously and inconsiderately. Youths not playing football in front of houses - e.g. small green in

12/7/2014 12:02 PM

Paxton Drive - sign telling them it is prohibited has been removed. 166

More parking. Tennis net on tennis courts. Removal of fireworks sales next to dry cleaners. Lighting at night. Cycle

12/7/2014 11:50 AM

paths to Stotfold (for schools). 167

making sure that parking was restricted to parking areas only, and ensure that a speed limit is adhered to. I feel a

12/7/2014 11:32 AM

very serious accident is going to happen on Elliot Way sometime. Something should be done to the piece of land between Elliot and the church. It is a disgrace at the moment. 168

More mature/developed landscaped areas. More youth and adult sports facilities - skate park/tennis club/football

12/7/2014 11:16 AM

pitch. A coffee shop. A much more tight-knit community. A productive community at all age groups/levels ploughing profits from resources into community - not self sufficient but with same enterprises enabling us to do more together for each other. 169

Status quo. Improved traffic management on corners and dangerous areas. Why should someone park up to 5

12/7/2014 10:52 AM

cars? Do not allow parking on pavements/grass verges. All in all a great place to live. Let's keep it that way 170

As a Fairfield Hall resident, for people to respect privacy of Hall residents; our windows are single glazed and we

12/6/2014 5:00 PM

hear everything loud and clear as people go past! 171

Area of land between Eliot Way and Kingsley Avenue is an eyesore and a terrible impression of Fairfield

12/6/2014 3:25 PM

A shelter at the bus stop for other people school children No commercial vans etc on the park More parking

12/6/2014 1:47 PM

173

Get rid of the gym ! Or stop them making so much noise somehow! We have loved Fairfield and the community

12/5/2014 8:48 PM

since we moved in but the constant noise and disruption from the gym has forced us to move sooner than originally 174

It is a great place to live - I think that developments that continue to enhance the green spaces and developments

12/5/2014 5:26 PM

that would improve community facilities (coffee shop etc) would be great additions. 175

Better security e.g. Neighbourhood Watch. Better standards of parking. All houses etc were built wtih parking

12/5/2014 5:16 PM

provisions off road. Double yellow lines on all access approach roads. 176

People taking a personal responsibility toward their own litter disposal. Dog owners controlling their dogs

12/5/2014 5:07 PM

appropriately when other dogs/children are around (my dog has been attacked twice in one week recently) 177

The parish councillors to stop being negative about the residents of the hall and treating all residents the same. We

12/5/2014 4:53 PM

should all be working together. 178

A large local supermarket within 1 mile drive

12/5/2014 4:45 PM

179

I find Fairfield to be a pleasant area to live. As a great user of technology my life would be enhanced if Fairfield Hall

12/5/2014 4:36 PM

had greater and more flexible access to products such as BT Infinity & Sky HDTV 180

Final ownership and responsibility for the whole orchard area; a long term sustainable plan for the people to

12/5/2014 4:18 PM

continue to enjoy the orchard. We believe this should continue to be a natural open space with minimal intervention or manufactured public spaces as there are enough of these already in existence around the park 181

More shops, a pub and restaurants Signage for the Hall is inadequate (Map is the wrong way round on Eliot Way

12/5/2014 4:13 PM

entrance. More logical signs for the apartments 182

If my neighbours added anti slam cushions to their doors!

12/5/2014 4:01 PM

184

Improved Parking All areas of open land fully maintained

12/5/2014 3:37 PM

185

Better parking facilities to help clear the roads and enable a better traffic flow. Further development by way of

12/5/2014 2:56 PM

additional homes would only add to this problem. 186

A posh/upperclass restaurant or bar or bistro within walking distance of our home.

Fairfield Parish Plan and Neighbourhood Questionnaire 189

Sort out parking problems, Tesco junction is dangerous & causes rowns. No one know who has right of way.

12/5/2014 1:20 PM

Community Hall/School users block the parking of residents who live and pay rates here. We are unable to park outside our own homes. Respect the rules. There is not enough space especially now the school is bigger. Introduce traffic calming. From 5:30am traffic speeds along Dickens Boulevard need monitoring. 190

traffic issue in the main. perhaps speed bumps combined with "no parking" on dickens Boulevard in particular. I

12/5/2014 1:06 PM

have witnessed many near accidents and sadly believe it is only a matter of time before a tragedy occurs 191

Roads being adopted. Severe crackdown on the continued problem of inconsiderate parking. Removal of

12/5/2014 12:59 PM

commercial notices on exterior railings. Tacky. Defined distinction twixt road and pavement in Tesco area. Seen too many kids cycle across without looking. 192

protecting and enhancing the current open spaces by planting trees and shrubs where there is none Improving

12/4/2014 10:04 PM

road safety by reducing speed and parking problems Continuing to create sense of community through events and supporting community organisations 193

We would certainly consider staying if we could get a new build, larger home that retained the same style and

12/4/2014 9:46 PM

quality as our existing Twigden built property 194

Keeping the quality / standard of all houses and buildings the same. Not allowing much more development on the

12/4/2014 6:01 PM

Park. Improving the traffic/ parking on Dickens Boulevard we love living on Fairfield Park and are very happy to be pArt of the community 195

The comfort of knowing Fairfield isn't going to be,expanded,and ruined for everyone. More considerate driving and

12/4/2014 4:50 PM

parking. A coffee,shop, similar form for,meeting,other,residents, protecting,the open spaced,that,we,have,here eg the orchards 196

I would like to save the Orchards. I would like the professional dog walkers stopped from using the area as a dog

12/4/2014 4:22 PM

toilet as they never pick up the mess their dog makes 197

Educate cyclists,to,be,courteous and have regard,to,the safety of,walkers,on all of the paths around the estate. The

12/4/2014 3:56 PM

parish should consider providing organised fireworks display and actively discourage individual,firework parties gardens,are too small and fireworks end,up on the road. 198

Maintain green areas and children's play areas and build up on these to make them better. Increase social facilities

12/4/2014 3:52 PM

i.e. places to eat and meet up with people 199

Better gritting when it snows or a parish wide team of people happy to,clear paths as the council don't care about

12/4/2014 3:39 PM

the roads never mind the pavements 200

The parking is dreadful. Suggest School drop off in grassed area in front of school; dickens widened to tree line;

12/4/2014 3:29 PM

Kipling Crescent residents to be allowed to park in their garages by widening drop kerbs 201

telco delivery vans parking to be less dangerous; widen kissing gates for access for double buggy;FULL perimeter

12/4/2014 3:07 PM

path for buggy; bins to be tidied by the council once emptied; deal with the increase of dog fouling; access for buggies to Blue Lagoon walk; friendly neighbourhood fireworks code 202

The big issue is car parking. The roads are a little too narrow and the main roads, dickens and bronte should be

12/4/2014 2:50 PM

wider 203

Needs a focal eg a pub

12/4/2014 2:36 PM

You need to build an on site des/dentist with pharmacist. The des in Stotfold cannot cope. There should be a

12/4/2014 1:15 PM

coffee place Costa or similar, preferably with outdoor seating for the summer the school needs extending. 206

Not building anything else accept to provide social facilities for existing residents. And do that using existing

My family and I love living on Fairfield- it provides us with a safe, fun place to live in a community based around an

11/30/2014 9:07 AM

excellent school. We feel very blessed. We hope that this will not be compromised by further development. Our main concerns are the safety of our children and the children of the parish- this is mainly due to the lack of safe crossing areas, road markings, speeding and irresponsible parking. We hope this survey goes some way to changing these issues for the better. Many thanks it was a great survey and good to be able to have our little say. 219

Fairfield Parish Plan and Neighbourhood Questionnaire 222

Community spirit. Community leadership. I value what we have right now. I feel there is a high focus on parking as

11/28/2014 4:51 PM

a problem. Probably fired by those who have a double garage and off road driveway/parking. There appears to be no consideration taken to help residents who have inadequate parking. I know the Planning Inspector refused planning due to inadequate parking on Dickens Boulevard. I know that planning was also granted on Dickens Boulevard, to use an office above garages as accommodation. One family moved in with 2 cars. Now parked on Dickens Boulevard. Please check with Central Beds planning to confirm. 223

Knowing that there will be no more housing development within the park. Having the parking and traffic flow

11/27/2014 12:30 AM

problems resolved. Seeing more planting and greenery. Having our own close (Nickleby Way) properly tended by the management company rather than having to depend on the builder (Wimpey). NB: In answer to Q25 additional car parking (other): we would suggest that better use could be made of the underutilised parking areas adjacent to Fairfield Hall. 224

Maintaining character and natural environment; community enforcement/policing/CCTV in order to preserve the

11/27/2014 12:10 AM

safe family environment; facilities for young people; further education in Community Hall or St Luke's Chapel that would benefit both young and old. 225

Lovely place to live but parking and dog fouling issues need to be resolved

11/26/2014 10:31 PM

226

More planting should be done as some areas are very bare- such as Charlotte Crescent. It'd also be great to see a

236

Address the parking issues. Cars are parking in dangerous locations day after day and will cause accidents. The

11/23/2014 7:09 PM

parking down Dickens Boulevard makes that road a "no go" route during busy times as all the parked cars make it a single route road. This forces cars down other routes who then have to dodge in and out of car parks on bends. Parking at Tescos needs to be managed. It is frequently impossible to find a parking space in the car park meaning you cannot go into Tescos on the way home/out. This is because the car park and immediate road areas are being used by people who are not shopping. 237

Faster Internet for the whole Parish, coffee shop

Some decent streetlighting would help?

11/22/2014 5:47 PM

241

My biggest concerns are (in this order): 1. Too many cars parking on the roads. Dickens Boulevard is impassable

11/22/2014 2:29 PM

at certain times of the day 2. No high speed broadband. My broadband speed is very slow. Even Stevenage have this one sorted out! 3. No social hub (i.e. a pub) It would be great to have a 'local' 4. I'm concerned that there is drug use going on around the Tescos area 242

Maintain the trees that were planted at the back of Shaftesbury drive. Scanlans charge us to do this ,yet do nothing.

11/22/2014 10:53 AM

We could appoint a management company that provide much better value for money. 243

More considerate parking and No football or Cricket games allowed on the small green areas ie the green on

11/21/2014 7:21 PM

faraday gardens 246

I am very concerned about children playing football on the centre playground near my home. I have had countless

11/21/2014 5:45 PM

of problems with parents letting their kids go to the toilet on the green near my garden fence door and fence panels. I have found smashed vodka & gin bottles on my pathway to Tesco and also children's underwear & cloths left on this green. Also on my pathway. I would recommend signage for not ball games on this green as it's causes our lives to be continually unsettled in the summer periods. Kind Regards Mr J Last 97 Charlotte Avenue. 247

More flowers and shrubs

11/21/2014 4:56 PM

248

Good maintenance of the current/new facilities; improved lighting on the outer walk areas of the development (i.e.

11/21/2014 3:16 PM

Fairfield Parish Plan and Neighbourhood Questionnaire 254

In our opinion the park would benefit from a well run pub just off the park (child friendly during the day until

11/18/2014 11:30 PM

7.00ish), possibly at the bottom of Elliot Way / Hitchin Road roundabout. The style of establishment would be a one similar to 'The Fox' at Willian not a chain type pub as we already have on Hitchin Road towards Letchworth. The pub should serve real ales and good wines along with nice well priced tasty bar and restaurant food, once again like 'The Fox' at Willian. This type of establishment would encourage more community spirit from all the age groups which the park would certainly reap the benefit. 255

Parking and the speed of which people drive is the most frustrating part especially with a large percentage of

11/15/2014 9:42 AM

families living on the estate. Double lines on bends need to be introduced, people just have no care of drivers trying to get by safely.. Most days me and my husband say that there is just an accident waiting to happen, let's hope it doesn't come to this! 265

Fairfield Parish Plan and Neighbourhood Questionnaire 289

Better lighting in non-road areas, like the cemetery, orchards etc. With regard to the cemetery, where fantastic

11/2/2014 11:04 PM

sunsets can be seen most nights, it would be such a great addition to have some seating there. It is a calming place to be, but there's nowhere to sit and lots of people have commented on this oversight 290

Specialist community shops (bakery, deli, butcher). Varied community leisure facilities to keep the growing number

11/2/2014 9:18 PM

of teenagers occupied. Cycle ways to the nearby towns enabling fairfield residents to be able to have an option apart from the car. 291

If the parking problems were resolved then Fairfield would be a perfect place to live.

11/2/2014 8:59 PM

292

Better parking and street and path lighting

11/2/2014 5:26 PM

293

Less inconsiderate parking, a fix for Dickens Boulevard. The most troublesome inconsiderate parking takes place at

11/2/2014 1:40 PM

the end of Bronte Avenue near the roundabout on Dickens Boulevard, one of the households (on the corner of Bronte and Fleming Drive, maybe 5 Bronte Ave?) insists on parking outside their house even though they live on a corner (so could park in the side street) and have a drive/garage. This creates a chicane on Bronte that causes traffic problems every day...these are the only kinds of issue that create any kind of wrinkle associated with living in Fairfield 294

A coffee shop and a Christmas tree in the urban park.

11/2/2014 1:19 PM

295

To keep the park open, spacious and promote the up keep of open areas such as Orchards etc.

11/2/2014 11:38 AM

296

That it remains a place that does not grow too big and lose it's sense of community for all ages. And that it

11/1/2014 4:01 PM

continues to feel safe and encourages a community that supports one another, cares for it's surroundings and retains the green landscape. 297

Already love living here. Would love to have parish Christmas lights :-)

11/1/2014 10:47 AM

298

No more housing developments or travellers sites being agreed nearby.

10/30/2014 11:42 PM

299

Sort the parking out. Seems many people won't use the garage except as a spare room/storage area. Insist

10/30/2014 7:02 PM

landlords allow their tenants full use of any garage allocated to that rental property 300

Not constantly having a disaffected county council trying to force unwanted development or traveler sites onto our

10/30/2014 1:08 PM

parish because we are on the outer edge of their district. To continue to seek a real sense of community and respect through engagement with residents and protecting the natural beauty around the park which made me purchase a property when it was virtually a building site. Please develop the urban park into formal gardens. 301

For me one of the main pleasures is the open spaces for walking and cycling, the pleasant landscape and the

10/30/2014 12:57 PM

orchards, all of which we should make sure are retained and improved if necessary.This would enhance my sense of happiness. Another reason for enjoying life in Fairfield is the health club. The location is good for commuting. 302

Getting to know more people in the community - more community wide events would be great.

10/29/2014 6:50 PM

303

Provide a medical centre, the lack of which causes stress to many people and solve the car parking problem.

10/29/2014 1:27 PM

304

good neighbours

10/29/2014 12:45 PM

305

Addressing the parking problem and trying to ensure the school can accommodate all residents. A school for older

10/28/2014 9:59 PM

kids would also be great. 306

Traffic calming, lower speed limits and wider footpaths on the Hitchin road

10/28/2014 4:28 PM

307

We would want the rural feel of the parish to continue - we understand the need for new homes but over

10/27/2014 12:58 PM

development, or development in inappropriate areas impact on the environment, community and other services. The area we have found has a lovely feel to it 'a real community' and we fear that would be lost with more development. 308

Knowing my son would be guaranteed a place at Fairfield School. School needs to be bigger to cater for all children

10/27/2014 9:55 AM

on the park. We should not have to send our children to other schools where they have to be driven to or get a bus. Not fit for purpose. 309

Improvement in Parking, restrictions in parking on bends, tight corners, just off roundabouts etc. introduce parking

10/27/2014 9:17 AM

permits....most houses have 2 cars so 1 permit per house to park on road with option for visitors passes. no more houses built to preserve the look and feel of fairfield park and also as school is at capacity now. Don't spray pesticides in public areas where children play or when people are walking past. 310

Build a pub at the Church, sort the parking on the road issues out. Possibly consider making Fairfield Park a private

10/27/2014 1:11 AM

estate with gated access? 311

A better sense of community. (A nice little country pub)

10/26/2014 7:52 PM

312

Removing the cars and vans from the streets.

10/26/2014 6:31 PM

313

A campaign to get more people actively involved and not just a cliquey few. Use the community centre to host

10/26/2014 5:53 PM

many more community events. Get like minded people on the estate to meet up and become friends. It's a great place to live but some people need to be drawn out of their shells. 314

a local pub

10/26/2014 4:50 PM

315

Keep the green areas green. More planting of trees, shrubs and flowers. Thank you for the chance to respond.

10/26/2014 3:14 PM

316

More traffic control on Dickens Boulevard - there is no clear right of way and it causes arguments with residents. A

10/25/2014 5:22 PM

public house or bar which is affordable to everyone. We love the area and our home is our dream home but sometimes my husband and I would like a nice meal but rarely go to the restaurant here unless it's a special occasions due to their prices. 317

Restriction on development to safeguard the environment & the good quality of living here.

10/25/2014 2:35 PM

318

More money and less "bickering" between the various entities (CBC, FPC, FHRA FPRA). We should all be on the

10/25/2014 10:02 AM

same side guys!!!!!!!

141 / 142

Fairfield Parish Plan and Neighbourhood Questionnaire 319

More planting/shrubs beds & trees on the crescent in Charlotte Avenue & generally around the parish. Improved

10/24/2014 9:27 PM

parking facilities but not to impact the look & feel of Fairfield Park - e.g. on Dickens Boulevard. A permit system to avoid people parking work vehicles or more than two vehicles outside their property. (To include a special permit for visitors). An independent bakery or deli or small independent shops. Improved childcare/ nursery facilities. Neighbourhood scheme. 320

I am already quite happy living at Fairfield. Obviously if we could improve parking etc and make better use of some

10/24/2014 4:23 PM

of the central open spaces that would be good. The main problem is the lack of thought for the motor car requirements in the original plans, as the younger children grow up and become drivers it will really be fun. 321

Continued communication from the Parish that is positive, forward thinking and takes into account the views of the

10/24/2014 3:13 PM

parish as a whole. Plus action, which we are seeing (linking the Fairfield road signs). That kind of local control is what keeps us all happy and drives us all to keep contributing to making things work. Financial control too. We all pay a lot to live here, and maybe getting more from Central Beds Council by way of financial contribution, bringing the Parish to its full glory, promised/agreed with the developers. Community Police - updates on crime in the area. Facts and advice from the experts. That way any hearsay is dismissed. We can all feel safe and informed. 322

safer crossings at the school, with parking controls and pedestrian crossings in place

10/23/2014 10:33 PM

323

greater community spirit.

10/23/2014 9:26 PM

324

A pub!

10/23/2014 5:50 PM

325

not over development tidy open spaces

10/23/2014 4:55 PM

326

I think the place is a good place to live with one major problem - the parking on dickens boulevard, solve this and

10/23/2014 4:03 PM

people will be happier. Additional shops and especially food and drink places would be great, there is no need for a dry cleaners lets put a fast food place next to Tesco. 327

A more centralized, usable social environment, eg. A bar, coffee shop/deli, other than The Orchard. Ideally in the

10/23/2014 3:33 PM

center of Fairfield Park. No further housing developments please! 328

There are many unkempt areas around Fairfield Park which has a poor visual impact e.g. the area east of Fairfield

10/23/2014 12:36 PM

Hall around the Eliot Way entrance and the areas all along Eliot Way near St Lukes Chapel. The road junction at Eliot Way and the road to Bannatynes Health Club is dangerous (unable to enter comments on point 23 online) 329

Enforcement/education for unsafe parking (On bends etc).

CSE 17 Fairfield Parish Plan Survey completion issues The deadline for the submission of the parish plan questionnaire was 25 November 2014. At that time 226 questionnaires had been submitted online and 324 hard copies had been received. Following that date the information on the hard copies was transferred to the online version. During the questionnaire completion period and the time following when hard copies were input onto the software, various ‘gliches’ were identified that stopped the completion of the survey as intended. The two main ones were; Intended comments boxes identified on the hard copy were not able to be completed on the software. A comments box that needed to be inserted on the software had been missed for certain questions. Thus in those instances no comments could be recorded. This did not apply in all cases where comments were requested. I have noted the questions this applies to below. A number of questions requested that a priority was identified to a list of options. In a lot of cases these questions were merely ticked or multiple top priorities identified. This could not be completed as such on the software and a decision of sorts as to what to input was made by the inputter. We should therefore be careful how we interpret the results of these questions. This issue only applies to the ‘hard copies’ input following the deadline In the main however the questions answered were done so as intended. Only those with issues are noted. Q7

Apologies;

Sharon Jones Linda Manktelow Viv Batten

1.00. Survey Results. PM referred to his previously circulated paper ‘Survey completion issues’ and the Group agreed the following in response to the issues raised. 1.01. There would be no further action taken to address the Questions where a ‘comments’ box had not been made available on the online survey form. Comments made on the hard copy had in the majority of cases either been repeated in Q64 or inserted by the ‘programmer’ elsewhere on the form. 1.02. There would be no action taken as yet to revisit the hard copies for the Questions where a priority order had been requested. This may be done at a later date should the relevant action group feel the exercise would provide valuable information. 1.03. The analysis of Q64 prepared by Mike Fayers of BRCC would be circulated to all members. A similar analysis of the other questions where comments were able to be inserted on the online survey would be discussed with BRCC. 1.04. In general the results would be reported as part of the final Parish Plan document in line with common practice for similar Parish Plans throughout Bedfordshire. The results would be used to support the proposed actions. They will be made available to statutory bodies etc. upon request. 2.00. Group terms of reference. 2.01. It was agreed that the original Parish Plan steering group constitution covered the action planning stage. 3.00. Steering Group membership. 3.01. With the withdrawal of Silke Gruner the steering group could do with some additional bodies for the action planning stage. It was agreed to announce the vacancies at the AGM and place an article in Fairfield Matters in an attempt to recruit more volunteers. 4.00. Parish Plan Content. 4.01. PM circulated some Parish Plans that BRCC had been involved in preparing to illustrate typical style and content. He circulated a draft content for the Fairfield Plan

that had been prepared using the examples taled. Members to comment on the proposal in due course. 5.00. Action planning. 5.01. PM had previously circulated a paper provided by BRCC noting possible steps to be taken during the action planning process. Further work on action planning will be delayed until the next meeting when hopefully further volunteers will have stepped forward. 6.00. Date of next meeting. 6.01. To be arranged in April following the AGM

CSE 20 Annual Report 2015 Fairfield Parish and Neighbourhood Plan Update. In October 2014 all households in Fairfield Parish were invited to complete a Parish and Neighbourhood Plan survey. The survey could be completed either on-line or on a hard copy that had been delivered to every home. The deadline for the submission of the parish plan questionnaire was 25 November 2014. At that time 226 questionnaires had been submitted online and 324 hard copies had been received. Following that date the information on the hard copies was transferred to the online version. The 550 responses gave us an approximate return of 52% of households in the parish and hence the results represent the views of a majority of households in Fairfield. In the main the questions were answered as intended but there are some results that may need revisiting. The two main issues were; The main issues being identified from the results are; 98% regarded the environment/landscaping and open space as important. 90-96% noted that the main green areas should be protected from development. 95% noted that any new development and extensions should retain the look and the character of Fairfield in style and materials. 90% said that The Orchards should be restored. 84% supported a 20mph speed limit. 90% wanted no parking restrictions on dangerous junctions. 84% said that there was a traffic flow problem within the Parish. 96% of people generally felt safe within the community during the day with this falling to 79% at night. These results have given the steering group a clear steer as to what the issues are at Fairfield together with suggestions of what would/could if possible be acceptable improvements . Action groups are currently considering all the options available prior to preparing a draft Parish Plan for the Parish Council to consider. As far as the Neighbourhood Plan goes we are going to include only two main themes for the plan. Retention of the main green areas within the parish as open space. Local design statement for future developments, conversions and extensions on Fairfield. We have liaised with CBC and agreed the process that needs to be followed to have this approved.

An initial draft will be written by the Parish Council and checked for compliance by CBC. The draft and supporting evidence will then be open to all Fairfield residents for a six week consultation period. The draft and all comments received will be reviewed by an independent inspector who will make recommendations for a final draft. A referendum will then be organized by CBC for residents to vote on whether to accept the final draft. If greater than a 50% yes vote is achieved at the referendum then the final draft will be submitted to CBC for final approval. The neighbourhood plan will then be a legal planning document used alongside CBC planning policies when they determine planning applications. This is a lengthy process with CBC expecting it to take about eight months from when the intial draft is available.

SJ to send notes from Traffic & Transport Group to PM PM to write introduction and work notes from Community Safety/Future Development group into a draft format to be circulated for other action groups to consider for their own notes. Action by 30th May 2015 ALL to produce their own action group drafts. Action by 12th June Next meeting to be scheduled for16th June when the action group text will have been drafted and CB can provide style options for the final document. The final format will be agreed at the meeting scheduled for 30th June PM to liaise with Chris Brown (CB), designer, and obtain prices and example layout. BD suggested that the document could be combined with the Parish Council Annual Report, however there could be timing issues. The Annual Report has to be out by the end of June but 1

it is possible that ensuring that it is posted on the Parish Council website would satisfy this condition. Delivery – quote to be obtained from Post Office. It is possible that delivery to Fairfield Hall addresses could be carried out by volunteers. ALL to consider suitable photos for their individual groups as more are needed. It is thought that CB would need approx. 2 weeks to mock up a draft which would then be circulated for feedback and a further 4 weeks to produce the agreed article. Consideration is to be given as to whether charts were needed. Agreed to obtain advice from CB when final layout was being agreed. The aim is to produce and deliver before the school holidays in July. Agreed 2 quotes to be obtained from printers. Katrina Henshaw, Parish Clerk to be asked to organise. - 150 grm gloss paper, for 24 and 36 pages

PM gave an update. Met with Chris Brown (CB) who is very busy and unlikely to be able to start work on this until mid July. Time also needs to be factored in for BRCC feedback. As it now appears unfeasible to circulate before the summer school holiday (schools break up on 17th July) all agreed aim for 1st September to distribute. Consideration is to be given to issuing a summary to all residents with information as to where the full report can be obtained if required. Three quotes have been received from printers. The cheapest was Garnsons at £687 for 1200 consisting of 24 pages. An additional 12 pages would increase the price to £960. Delivery – Royal Mail fixed price £500. Consider using scouts or PRC (?) PD to ask Roger Burrows if it could be delivered with Fairfield Matters. Ideally CB requires the following in order to commence work •

Introduction – PM to do

It was noted that a Fairfield History was to be delivered to Park residents only. TL to ascertain whether Hall residents will also receive this.

ALL to consider peer group work, look at actions/timescales S/T – within 1 year M/T – 1 – 2 years L/T – 4 – 5 years but not basic text and feedback to PM by 20th June 2015 PM to send work so far to BRCC and request feedback by the weekend. It was agreed that if CB had examples by 30th June then the scheduled meeting would go ahead, as long as he could attend, otherwise it will be cancelled. PM to action.

Revise the GI plan point 20 to a new location Omit point 4 on the GI plan Reconsider the Green Infrastructure Plan aspirational list Support for the adoption and implementation of the Plan, Design Statement and GIP Why is the plan period five years.?

CSE 28 Fairfield Neighbourhood Plan 2016-2021 Pre-submission consultation responses. Consultee Comment Lochailort Draft policy 1. The meaning of ‘extensions’ is ambiguous. It could mean individual dwellings or the whole settlement Draft policy 3. Areas within the new development on the Former Pig Unit site could also be designated green spaces. James Logan Remove area 13 from the Green Infrastructure Plan (GIP) map. No alterations

The Green Infrastructure Plan is a document that records the results of a process run independently by BRCC following a pre-agreed process with CBC. It represents the views of volunteer residents of Fairfield Parish. It is being used solely as evidence to support the Neighbourhood Plan policies 2 and 3. The time for objecting to the individual aspirations identified in the document is when they are proposed through individual planning applications. The Green Infrastructure Plan is not being approved as part of this process. Just used as evidence. As above As above As above

When determining the time period for the plan it was agreed that the important issues of design and green infrastructure should be put in place as soon as possible and not be delayed by the greater piece

None

No change

Agreed they could but as yet are not in place. Could be considered once the development is completed.

None Amend plan period to 10 years

Specification of a settlement envelope for Fairfield to discourage significant development outside Fairfield

The need to protect the edges of Fairfield should be included. It would be helpful if the CBC Landscape Character Assessment was referred to. It would be helpful if the CBC Outdoor Access Improvement Plan was referred to. No comment Designate the area between Eliot Way, Hitchin Road, Kingsley Avenue and the East Wing of Fairfield as Designated Green Space Full support but extend the plan period to at least ten years







A context map showing the wider area and links would be helpful There is no exploration of where development could take place Car parking is an issue that is not discussed and could impact on green space.

No change

No comment An area of land not particularly noted for designation during the GIP process although a lot of green areas were included in the ‘others’ category. When determining the time period for the plan it was agreed that the important issues of design and green infrastructure should be put in place as soon as possible and not be delayed by the greater piece of work that a land use assessment would be. A five year plan period was thought appropriate thus allowing a land use assessment to be included at that time. When determining the time period for the plan it was agreed that the important issues of design and green infrastructure should be put in place as soon as possible and not be delayed by the greater piece

Any additional access would be a matter for separate negotiation with land owners, whose legal rights must be respected. No actions No change

All agreed document should be Landscape rather than Portrait. Some of the photos taken for insertion were considered a little gloomy because of the weather at the time they were taken. Some may need to be taken again, however CT offered to work on them. All agreed that the information bubbles needed to be more definite in colour. CB suggested a deeper grey. Examples of front covers were shown. All agreed happy to use library pictures but also need a shot of the Parish, perhaps a view of the Hall from the cricket pitch. A wraparound cover could be considered. BD to take some pictures of the West Orchard towards the Hall for consideration. PM to send final draft of layout/stats again to CB. CB to check schedule and confirm whether a first proof will be available by the end of August which, once agreed, could then be ready for distribution in September.

CONSULTATION RESPONSES

The Consultation was primarily carried out on line with consultees invited to complete a comprehensive form. Those responses were downloaded into a spreadsheet and summarised on the previous pages. The spreadsheet can be downloaded from this link: https://goo.gl/R4OoE5 Two other consultees responded by email and three by letter. Their detailed responses are on the following pages.

06/07/2016 – FPRA Dear Phil The Committee of Fairfield Park Residents Association, in response to your letter, discussed the Draft Neighbourhood Plan at a meeting held yesterday evening. We are given to understand that the term of the Plan is intended by Fairfield Parish Council to be for only five years. I am instructed by the committee to advise you that FPRA formally and enthusiastically endorse the Draft Neighbourhood Plan subject only to the proviso that it be extended to a period of at least ten years. Yours sincerely Peter Nash Chairman, FPRA 07/07/2016 – Arlesey Town Council Thank you for the notification of Fairfield’s Draft Neighbourhood Plan consultation period. Arlesey Town Council (ATC) has reviewed the Draft Plan and hereby submits the following representations: • ATC has no specific objections to the specific policies in the Fairfield Neighbourhood Plan. • ATC is surprised that Fairfield Parish Council has not sought to specify a settlement envelope for Fairfield to discourage significant development beyond the current built-up area. ATC feels that it is important for individual settlements in the area to remain distinct and not be merged together through over-development. • ATC would be particularly keen for development to be discouraged in the area of Fairfield parish that is adjacent to the Blue Lagoon as this may detract from the potential for the Blue Lagoon and its surroundings to be developed as a country park. Kind regards Susan Foulkes Town Clerk (01462) 733722

Annex 1 - Neighbourhood planning and the natural environment: information, issues and opportunities Natural environment information sources The Magic1 website will provide you with much of the nationally held natural environment data for your plan area. The most relevant layers for you to consider are: Agricultural Land Classification, Ancient Woodland, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Local Nature Reserves, National Parks (England), National Trails, Priority Habitat Inventory, public rights of way (on the Ordnance Survey base map) and Sites of Special Scientific Interest (including their impact risk zones). Local environmental record centres may hold a range of additional information on the natural environment. A list of local record centres is available here2. Priority habitats are those habitats of particular importance for nature conservation, and the list of them can be found here3. Most of these will be mapped either as Sites of Special Scientific Interest, on the Magic website or as Local Wildlife Sites. Your local planning authority should be able to supply you with the locations of Local Wildlife Sites. National Character Areas (NCAs) divide England into 159 distinct natural areas. Each character area is defined by a unique combination of landscape, biodiversity, geodiversity and cultural and economic activity. NCA profiles contain descriptions of the area and statements of environmental opportunity, which may be useful to inform proposals in your plan. NCA information can be found here4. There may also be a local landscape character assessment covering your area. This is a tool to help understand the character and local distinctiveness of the landscape and identify the features that give it a sense of place. It can help to inform, plan and manage change in the area. Your local planning authority should be able to help you access these if you can’t find them online. If your neighbourhood planning area is within or adjacent to a National Park or Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the relevant National Park/AONB Management Plan for the area will set out useful information about the protected landscape. You can access the plans on from the relevant National Park Authority or Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty website. General mapped information on soil types and Agricultural Land Classification is available (under ’landscape’) on the Magic5 website and also from the LandIS website6, which contains more information about obtaining soil data.

Natural environment issues to consider The National Planning Policy Framework7 sets out national planning policy on protecting and enhancing the natural environment. Planning Practice Guidance8 sets out supporting guidance. Your local planning authority should be able to provide you with further advice on the potential impacts of your plan or order on the natural environment and the need for any environmental assessments.

Landscape Your plans or orders may present opportunities to protect and enhance locally valued landscapes. You may want to consider identifying distinctive local landscape features or characteristics such as ponds, woodland or dry stone walls and think about how any new development proposals can respect and enhance local landscape character and distinctiveness. If you are proposing development within or close to a protected landscape (National Park or Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) or other sensitive location, we recommend that you carry out a landscape assessment of the proposal. Landscape assessments can help you to choose the most appropriate sites for development and help to avoid or minimise impacts of development on the landscape through careful siting, design and landscaping. Wildlife habitats Some proposals can have adverse impacts on designated wildlife sites or other priority habitats (listed here9), such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest or Ancient woodland10. If there are likely to be any adverse impacts you’ll need to think about how such impacts can be avoided, mitigated or, as a last resort, compensated for. Priority and protected species You’ll also want to consider whether any proposals might affect priority species (listed here11) or protected species. To help you do this, Natural England has produced advice here12 to help understand the impact of particular developments on protected species. Best and Most Versatile Agricultural Land Soil is a finite resource that fulfils many important functions and services for society. It is a growing medium for food, timber and other crops, a store for carbon and water, a reservoir of biodiversity and a buffer against pollution. If you are proposing development, you should seek to use areas of poorer quality agricultural land in preference to that of a higher quality in line with National Planning Policy Framework para 112. For more information, see our publication Agricultural Land Classification: protecting the best and most versatile agricultural land13.

Improving your natural environment Your plan or order can offer exciting opportunities to enhance your local environment. If you are setting out policies on new development or proposing sites for development, you may wish to consider identifying what environmental features you want to be retained or enhanced or new features you would like to see created as part of any new development. Examples might include:       

Providing a new footpath through the new development to link into existing rights of way. Restoring a neglected hedgerow. Creating a new pond as an attractive feature on the site. Planting trees characteristic to the local area to make a positive contribution to the local landscape. Using native plants in landscaping schemes for better nectar and seed sources for bees and birds. Incorporating swift boxes or bat boxes into the design of new buildings. Think about how lighting can be best managed to encourage wildlife.



Adding a green roof to new buildings.

You may also want to consider enhancing your local area in other ways, for example by:       

Setting out in your plan how you would like to implement elements of a wider Green Infrastructure Strategy (if one exists) in your community. Assessing needs for accessible greenspace and setting out proposals to address any deficiencies or enhance provision. Identifying green areas of particular importance for special protection through Local Green Space designation (see Planning Practice Guidance on this 14). Managing existing (and new) public spaces to be more wildlife friendly (e.g. by sowing wild flower strips in less used parts of parks, changing hedge cutting timings and frequency). Planting additional street trees. Identifying any improvements to the existing public right of way network, e.g. cutting back hedges, improving the surface, clearing litter or installing kissing gates) or extending the network to create missing links. Restoring neglected environmental features (e.g. coppicing a prominent hedge that is in poor condition, or clearing away an eyesore).

Dear Sir Draft Fairfield Neighbourhood Plan Consultation Thank you for consulting Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) on your draft Neighbourhood Plan. Firstly, I would like to congratulate you on all the work you have done to get the plan to this stage, it truly is a fantastic achievement. I am sorry that I have not used the feedback form but in order to provide you with one response from CBC, I forwarded your draft plan to a number of different service areas in the Council and collated all the responses. I have included the full responses in the attached document. Generally the response was that the plan was clear and fulfilled its wish to protect the ‘look and feel’ of the Parish. However, it was felt that there were some areas of the plan that could be improved. In summary, the main points raised were: • • • • • • •

Why is the plan period 5 years? A context map showing the wider area and links would be helpful. There is no exploration of where development could take place. Car parking is an issue that is not discussed and could impact on green space. The need to protect the ‘edges’ of Fairfield should be included. It would be helpful if the CBC Landscape Character Assessment was referred to. It would be helpful if the CBC Outdoor Access Improvement Plan was referred to.

Area Housing



Comments In reference to new developments in the Parish of Fairfield – if the number of units meets the required threshold for affordable housing provision I would expect any development to comply with the requirements of the Council with 35% of the total number of new homes to be affordable. Any qualifying development for affordable housing provision would be expected to comply with the Council’s tenure requirement. This is currently 73% affordable rent and 27% intermediate tenure. Rural exception schemes would differ to this with the provision of 100% affordable housing (usually 10 units or less) which would provide affordable housing for local people to meet an identified housing need within the Parish. The tenure of an exception scheme is derived from the identified housing need within a housing needs survey. Any affordable rented units would be allocated through the Council’s allocation policy with the affordable units being allocated to eligible applicants in housing need on the Council’s waiting list. Allocation of affordable units on a rural exception scheme would be allocated to eligible applicants in housing need through the Local Lettings Policy whereby the affordable units will be allocated to those with a local connection to the Parish. N. Plan period is described as 5 years – suggest this is a very short - what are the ‘land issues’ limiting the Plan period? Suggest review will need to discuss issues such as growth linked to the timescale of the Local Plan. Map describing Parish area and N Plan area is not clear, needs clarity that Parish area is same as N Plan area. Would benefit the Plan if it had a context map that showed the proximity of Arlesey and the Arlesey Cross development, which includes a link road to A507 and Country Park proposal to north west of Fairfield and also neighbouring settlement of Stotfold. ‘Purposes’ described in the Plan are very limited; primarily retaining character of Fairfield, designation of Local Green space. The text explains that a NP can “guide new buildings and interpret planning policy – but the NP has not explored where residents might accept new growth or where they thought the best or least harm site might be. This seems a lost opportunity, which might need to be addressed in a revision of the Plan. There is no reference to future growth beyond the existing Fairfield settlement envelope, e.g. former Pig Unit, Lower

Wilbury Farm, land adjacent to The Lodge. Development of these sites may be influenced by the Neighbourhood Plan; bring wider benefits to Fairfield, may indicate no more new development, raise concerns about the capacity of landscape to accommodate more growth without impacting on the setting of Fairfield. Are there landscapes the plan would recommend not suitable to accommodate development – e.g. north, west and south of Fairfield? There is a need to think of what might happen on the adjacent land e.g. the unusual sites of the Blue and Green Lagoon. There is no reference to other issues / opportunities to enhance and improve; e.g. transport, access, parking issues, car ownership – extending cycle greenways as part of GI? Parking is known to be an issue at Fairfield – solutions to ease parking problems could be at the expense of local green space or features such as verges, but parking difficulties are only likely to increase as an issue. Any novel solutions – joint use of space? Is traffic along Hitchin Road an issue? Does the character require protection or enhancement especially given future growth to the east of Fairfield? Are there community facilities missing that could be secured via planning obligations / conditions? Environment – The proposals for the Orchards to be protected are welcome, these are important biodiversity habitats. We would suggest there needs to be stronger links made in the N Plan with the GI Plan. The need to protect the ‘edges’ and setting of Fairfield, including views from and to, should be reinforced in the N Plan. The proposed inclusion of allotments, sports pitches, etc. (GI Plan – priority 4) to the south of the existing settlement edge must avoid urbanising this edge, generating an urban fringe image. Any such uses must be integrated within a significant landscape buffer which screens views, enhances landscape character. Would be helpful if the GI or NP referred to the CBC Landscape Character Assessment – Fairfield is unique in virtually having its own distinct character area – “Fairfield Chalk Farmland”. This highlights local sensitivities such as the views to the Fairfield hospital buildings and over farmland. The NP could strengthen this guidance with advice on key views, features outside the built area of the actual Fairfield development – this would compliment the identified Green Spaces. The landscape strategy for this area is to renew traditional features and create a stronger landscape setting, particularly through new woodland and hedgerow establishment.

No mention of the Outdoor Access Improvement Plan in the associated key strategy documents The list of aspirations could add a link south from Blue Lagoon to the Herts county boundary bridleway and north from the cemetery area to Etonbury Wood The draft Plan and policies clarify the Plan focus is and its early review ( 5 years) will consider land use elements. As such there is little reference to community building(s) however should the parish grow then consideration will need to be given to community facility infrastructure especially with having regard to sustainable development . I do appreciate the community engagement to date however in the Plan process.

Section The plan has been supported by the production of a Green Infrastructure Plan. This is very welcome, as it provides a 9 useful evidence base to inform the development of the Neighbourhood Plan. 3 It is encouraging that residents recognise that the green spaces, as well as the buildings, are key to the look and feel of Fairfield, and that protecting and enhancing them is important. The principle of using Neighbourhood Plans to designate Local Green Spaces is supported. The spaces identified deliver a range of green infrastructure benefits, with biodiversity, recreation, play and amenity benefits. 1 I like the fact that it is a short plan to the point and clearly laid out and you can clearly see how the consultation has shaped the plan. The policies also refer specifically to the vision and objectives of the NP. The plan states that it is a 5-yr plan which is fine but there is no mention in the NP about monitoring – how are the policies going to be monitored to see if they are working well. Policy 1 Design and Character – refers to the Design Statement. There could be more reference to the Design Statement in the preamble to the text esp since it forms a core part of how the NP will be implemented. No comment Not sure I understand the reasoning for or agree with a time period of 5 rather than 15 years. Why can’t the Parish Council consider land uses now? 2. Total agreement with their aspirations but concern that none of the areas identified are large enough to provide the additional public access being aimed for Too inward looking and consider development a threat rather than opportunity
